Windows 10 64bit Audacity 2.3.2
When I start Audacity I get a blank project window looking at a 16 second default..as soon as I hit record the entire track shifts to the right 8 seconds..I am able to record but I`ve never seen a track move this way...when I stop the track moves back to normal
I`m trying to get a screen shot but am having trouble...when I hit print screen nothing happens...I may or not have captured the screen..but either way I can`t find it..can you help me with this ?
Thanks
