Don't confuse Capture with Mic. Mic sets the volume of Mic 'thru' but not the record level. ~~{{image url="http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=55582" link="http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=55582" width="200"}} ~~If frugally installed set temporary directory outside of SaveFile . Go to // edit > preferences > directories// set to something like /mnt/home/audacity-temp ~~Select //view > 'show clipping'// highlight any part of the recording that has distorted due to input being too high. ~~If recording multiple tracks you may need to lower latency - otherwise new track may come in too soon. ~~{{image url="http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=58094" link="http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=58094" width="200"}} ~~Use [[Jack]] to monitor if your system is recording continuously without gaps (due to not enough processor time allocated, or not fast enough processor). ==Also on the Wiki== ~[[Audacity]] - installation ~[[WavRec Recording with wavrec command]] ~[[SoundSystem Sound system Index]] ~[[Jack]] ==Related Webpages== ~[[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76756 Using Audacity on AMD Athlon 64]] ~[[http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity homepage]] ~[[http://forum.audacityteam.org/ Audacity forum]] ---- ==Categories== CategoryTutorial CategoryMultimedia
