I am have trouble again when I am recording and want a pause in my recording, If I stop speaking the recording stops and there is no pause and there is loss of the beginning of the word when I start again. I thought this was dropouts but I see see no no sign of dropout detection which is on. I see that drop outs can berelated to buffering but don't know how to change (tweke) this

Turn off "Sound Activated Recording" (in "Transport menu > Transport options").

I think it was off... at least there was no checkmark,,,,, I tried removing the files you mentioned in your post and now when I try to record a mono track, two stereo tracks appear along with my mono track and all recording happens in the top of the stereo tracks

It says El Capitan or later. Mojave is later.
