USB Codec Problem

[kirk202]

Things make a little more sense now. I was using a mono track and that's why the plugin didn't function. Since the Audio Units come with Mac they may be in Garage Band folders. I've never used Garage Band or the Audio Units but its good to know this. I certainly have no problem leaving the Audio Unit box unchecked. I'm glad its not a problem with Audacity.

I've enjoyed using Audacity since I started my Voice Over business recording audiobooks. I use Reaper to do the initial recording as I save a few keystrokes with Punch & Roll, then edit and master in Audacity. Maybe some day Audacity will get the ability to just place the curser before an already recorded section, hit record, and record over it. It's amazing that it's free. I think Audacity is getting a better reputation due to being recognized for the great job it does but there are still folks out there who can't get their minds around the fact that it can be an excellent program and be free too. They'd rather spend hundreds than even give it a try.

Thanks again for your help Gale,

That's one of our most popular feature requests, so it sounds as if you would like that too.

In case you don't know, if you stop recording at the mistake point then you can do SHIFT + R to record from the end of the track. If there are multiple tracks you need to select the track you want to append record to.

True. Doing audiobooks it would really be nice just to place the cursor before the mistake and record over it. It must take quite a bit of programing to get it to do that as this type of function is found mostly in the DAWs like Reaper, ProTools, CubeBase, etc. Eventually it may find it's way to Audacity...when it does it will be the only program I use.

Thanks,
