I have music on one of my tracks, the new track i put the verse, and then the next track i put the chorus which i am adjusting the Fuzz for the chorus, i previewed it and it sounded like i wanted and when i hit ok it deleted the whole chorus, i recorded it again and tried again and it did the same thing. Any ideas? Also how many tracks can you record per recording? Thanks

Could you give step by step instructions of how I may reproduce this problem.

That depends on the ability of the hardware. On my old laptop I can get about 50 tracks. Beyond that Audacity becomes rather sluggish and slow to respond.

i just turned the DB all the way down, what it was is the volume on that specific track needed to go up so my problem is solved.
