Hi sorry about all the inconvenience ,however i purchased a uca-202 interface , it resolved most of the issues..however ,how when i am transfering from a digital recorder my own music..to enable to show each individual track so that i can adjust the highs and lows of the music...its probably simple but and old head takes time.....

Great :D

There is a tutorial here (Splitting recordings into separate tracks) that covers the relevant procedures - the relevant part is where it talks about setting labels to mark the start of songs. The examples shown are using Audacity 1.2.6 and will look slightly different with 1.3.12, but the procedure is basically the same.
