Recording troubles

Post by softparade1967 » Mon Jun 28, 2010 8:31 pm

Hey everyone, I'm having frustrating recording problems. I have a profile on youtube and recently I got audacity, I go to import an audio it works, I record sounds great on play back its off. Yes I play along with the song on time this has happened on several occasions and its preventing me from recording stuff. Any hints? I'm stumped.

You mean that you want to play along with a song that you have imported and record what you are playing (while the song is playing), but when you record, the imported track does not play?

Which version of Audacity are you using?

No I dont mean that. The audio does play while I record but when I play it back after I record it the track what I originally recorded is out of synch with what I played. And I believe I have the 1.2 version of audacity.

Oddly as it may seem, audacity 1.3.x will work better in most cases...
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).
