I even tried older dmg’s I had to see if they’d work, no luck. Is there more that should be done to completely get rid of it from my computer before I try to download another dmg of Audacity? Does anyone know why my Audacity is not recording any sound on any device? I even changed the recording level to 100 and still nothing. Make sure the red Audacity recording meter (alone) never goes all the way to the right and the blue waves never hit top and bottom. Plug your headphones into the FastTrack, not the computer. Audacity > Preferences > Recording > Playthrough (deselect).
When I delete audacity from my computer, all I do is delete it from the app section. The one before was to the left of the screen. I restarted my computer, deleted and redownloaded the app, but no luck. To make sure this wasn’t an issue with the latest DMG I downloaded, I downloaded audacity on my brother’s macbook, and it worked on there. It does not even record any audio when I switch to Macbook built in mic. Either of these actions halves the amount of data Audacity otherwise has to write. From the above, you already know how to record desktop audio with Audacity. Reduce the amount of audio data being written: Choose 16-bit Sample Format in Audio Settings Preferences and set recording channels to mono in Device Toolbar (unless you need stereo). An Easy Way Record Computer Audio in High Quality. Then you can start the recording by clicking the Record button. Same flat blue line whenever I hit the record button. Open Audacity and select Built-in Input as the recording device. I deleted audacity and downloaded it again no luck. There is no blue waveform at all after I hit the record button, just a horizontal blue line that just keeps going. It doesn’t record from my macbook mic or my shure mic. For example, if you like to record YouTube audio, many times the settings for that will record everything, not just YouTube. I tried rescan audio devices, did not work. Make sure Audacity is trying to record your microphone and not another system or software service.
