![]() In the “Device Toolbar” ( Device Toolbar - Audacity Manual), set the “host” to “MME”, the “Recording device” to the USB mic, and the “Playback device” to the internal sound card.Launch Audacity (note that this is after connecting the mic).Connect the mic (you can check that it is connected and working by looking in the Windows “Sound Control Panel”).If ASIO is not running, setting up Audacity to record from a USB microphone and play through the built-in sound card should be as simple as: Audacity does not ship with ASIO support (due to license restrictions). We didn’t get to the bottom of the problem with Mark, but I suspect the problem was due to ASIO running. In Audacity 2.3.2, if the recording stalls, it does not leave a hidden fragment (hence no error message), but you are still seeing the same problem of the recording failing. The important part is that “the recording stalled”. What it meant was that the recording stalled, leaving a very short, or zero length recording hidden to the left of time = 0. That error message in older versions of Audacity, was a bit misleading because it describes a symptom, not the cause. Still no recording, still no playback with MME.Īlso, every time I change from MME to WASAPI or back again or any other combination, Audacity sits there and goes “(Not Responding)” for a bit before fulfilling the command. I checked the frequency on both the microphone and the speakers, and set them both to 44100 (microphone was set to that already). My drivers are all up to date, the toolbar is currently set to Windows WASAPI for the sound processor (or whatever the MME/Windows WASAPI is called), RODE NT-USB for the microphone with 2 (Stereo) Recording, and Realtek High Definition Audio for the Speakers/Headphones. When I turned Overdub off, I was suddenly back to the time dial not moving, albeit at the very END of the song where the other tracks cut out. I attempted to troubleshoot via the “Error opening sound device” Help page, but everything seemed in order. I then of course tried to record something, but was immediately given a new error message: I switched from MME to Windows Direct Sound and got similar results, but when I switched to Windows WASAPI, the tracks played back as normal. However, it was then that I noticed that the playback speed was very, VERY slow, about 50x slower than normal (.02 seconds of playback time for every 1 second of real time). Playback still yielded nothing but static. Tried recording in the middle of the song using the Time Selection tool, time line still wouldn’t move. Tried it with an old audio doodle I did with “Man on the Silver Mountain” to the same result: couldn’t record. Got the same results, minus the error message. Moreover, when I tried to PLAY the click track, all I got was static. I tried to record with a click track in place, that didn’t work either. I tried to record with no previous tracks, the time arrow turned red and refused to move. You may have to use the Time Shift Tool ( or F5) to drag the track to the right place.” “Latency Correction setting has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero.Īudacity has brought it back to start at zero. I downloaded the latest version of Audacity (2.3.2) to see if that fixed it, and all it did was nix the error message. I also have Windows 10, though I was using Audacity 2.0.5 at first with a Rode NT-USB microphone. I am using a Roland Rubix 22 USB Audio Interface. I have shut down the computer several times. It will record the piano only if there are no other tracks recorded… But I never had this problem before. Then I started a new project and created a click track (rythym track) before I added a second track and hit record. I tried monitoring the sound and it’s working… I couldn’t figure it out so I started a new project and hit record. ![]() When I stop the recording I sometimes get a cryptic message about latency and other times, no error message at all. I don’t get any playback of other tracks. I add a new mono track, hit record and the red “record head” just is stuck at zero and won’t budge. I am working on a multi-track recording and want to add the piano track. It was working perfectly until yesterday. I am having a very frustrating issue with Audacity.
