Re: Recording Multiple Tracks Simultaneously
Nope. Audacity sees one USB connection as one Sound Device. Audacity only supports one.
The up side to all this is Audacity directly supports up to 16 tracks of audio if you can figure out a way to get them into and out of the computer.

Re: Recording Multiple Tracks Simultaneously
OK, but you say earlier that that "one device" can be (typically would be) stereo, so I could at least hook up a dual mic set up through a UCA-202, and get a live two track recording into Audacity, yes?

OK, that'll be my fall back plan.
Re: Recording Multiple Tracks Simultaneously
But your 2 microphones would need amplifying before they go into the UCA-202 (the UCA is Line level, not mic level)dgoldsmith wrote:so I could at least hook up a dual mic set up through a UCA-202

Right, this was pointed out to me by my local retailer; I ended up getting something much fancier; more after I've evaluated it.

Re: Recording Multiple Tracks Simultaneously
I realize this is an old thread (and so am I) but I have what I thought would be a simple scenario which will not work.
I am using a M-Audio 1010LT card on my Win XP Pro SP3 PC, with a MIDI Virtual Pipe Organ program running Fluidsynth and that works perfectly.
I simply wanted to take MIDI recordings I made via the VTPO program (MidiTzer) and record in .wav file format.
Not so simple I guess as Audacity never seems to see the audio signal.
I am using M-Audio Delta 1010LT 1/2 as my sources (I tried every one anyway) for recording in Audacity (they are my outputs to my amplifier)
Audacity 1.2.6
M-Audio Driver for 1010LT 5.10.00.0048
The only thing I ever see on the Vu meters is every 3-4 seconds there is about a 1 second burst of noise.
What I do notice in Windows Recorder, looking at the set-up, for recording, I can see the M-Audio card and appropriate channels but the "Volume" button is not enabled. The Volume button is enabled in the playback window.
M-Audio seems to not want to support Audacity but I am also not finding a lot of information regarding recording from that card which given its cost and alleged feature set, recording should be a slam dunk.
