Audacity Forum

Steve, seriously.

Have you ACTUALLY READ my last post?

You are asking questions that I have ALREADY ANSWERED MORE THAN ONCE!!!!

For example, I CLEARLY SAID that I have created tracks from the internet, have recorded from the internet, so WHY would you ask that?

As complex and frustrating as this software is, I would think you could begin recording with a microphone, Pause or Stop,
then resume recording within that same track from the internet.

Basically you just need to switch your input device (and possibly host too) in the Device toolbar to frecord
a) from the internet (probably with WASAPI loopback)
b) from the microphone

Audacity will only record at any time from whatever device you tell it to in the Device Toolbar.

See this page in the Manual: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device_toolbar.html

I think you want this:

Edit -> Preferences... -> Recording -> uncheck Record on a new track

it's open at the moment and won't let me see the version.

If a Real time podcast is the goal, I did it with a small mixer. The machine on the right is the Skype machine and I'm talking to Denise on the east coast. I'm in California. I'm recording on the machine on the left and the left machine is playing the music. All real time.

The process doesn't violate any sound pathway rules and worked straight out of the gate.

The show sound is a ratty mess because even though we're both broadcast professionals, neither of us have done a show this way before. But it worked.

I didn't clean this up, so it looks like more of a wreck than it's supposed to.



Generic computers have one stereo output and one stereo input and to get a complex show, you have to either work around that (like I did), or use software that adds sound pathways and directions as needed.

If you do everything on one machine, keep in mind that the Hot Keys are going to get scrambled. "P" may be the Play key on your music system, but it's Pause in Audacity. The spacebar has a pile of different functions.

If you are on Skype, they have a feature where they will record your calls.

We found something wrong with that and I don't remember what it was.

Do you mean the post from "bearcat22"?
I see that your user name is very similar to the original poster, but this is a new account with a different email address, registered from a different ISP.
