Audacity version 2.4.2 Windows 10 64-bit
Hello..I`ve recorded with Audacity extensively in the past..recently whenever I hit the record button the track opens up but the curser stays at 0 except to vibrate..I`ve reinstalled several times and it keep doing it...this is a custom built high end machine with plenty of memory etc...what should I do ?
Thanks

Re: unstable record
I am trying to record music..I have a microphone plugged into a Zedi 4 channel mixer..I just noticed If I don`t check record on a new track it behaves normally as in I can continue my recording on the same track..when I check the box a new track appears but the curser stays on zero and vibrates.
Also I just noticed if I uncheck overdub ( play other tracks while recording ) it behaves normally except I can`t hear the previous track

A USB mixer?
What is your playback device?
Ensure that "Software Playthrough" is NOT enabled (in "Transport menu > Transport Options").

Yes it is a USB mixer...I record and playback through it
Re: unstable record
Check in the Windows Sound control panel and ensure that the mixer is set to the same sample rate in both the Recording and Playback tabs.
