Howdy!
Are any of you profeceient at Audacity.?
I don't use it but I have it cuz it's free, but I was fooling with it to see if there was any thing new.
I recorded a little just to use it and noticed you can't record "Sterio". art least I couldn't see how to.
That is my question. "How, if you can, record in sterio."???
Thanks,
Walt

Hit ctl + p to open preferences. First tab should be where you can set input and output device and channels. (you can also open prefs from the edit menu). Hope this helps.

If you are using version 2 it defaults to mono, while if you upgrade to the version 3 beta it defaults to stereo.
Can change either in preferences however.

Well, my experience with Audacity as a 'tracking' software is underwhelming and quite frustrating. I think it's a great tool for some final edits and so forth - but if you want to monitor tracks while recording new tracks, it really doesn't have a good latency management system in place and ends up being quite frustrating. With PowerTracks Pro Audio at only $49 (and other similarly priced products on the market) that can offer so much more than Audacity, those hours of frustration that you'll save with PTPA or N-Track or other similarly priced product will be more than worth the $49 investment.

In good health, Graham, but busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest...
Trying to help out over at Kara-Moon, and doing what I can for the open-source software community keeps a fellow hopping.
I keep an ear on your accordian action, but don't take the time to comment - still can't really type....   
Keep up the amazing music, and stay hirsute...

Understood, Scott.
I was first introduced to Audacity as an adjunct to PowerTracks Pro Audio. It handled pure digital audio, while PTPA managed sequencing, multi-tracking, and MIDI chores.
A prolific songwriter/recording artist - Jimi Pocius - uses Audacity as his main digital audio workstation...
http://www.songplanet.com/artists/bands/1172/
http://indieheart.com/Jimi_Pocius/
...multi-tracking, mixing, mastering - the whole enchilada.
What one needs to grasp in order to use Audacity successfully, is that it has been designed to function on all three major platforms: Mac, Windows, and Linux. Hence, it contains none of the assumptions that single-platform software tools incorporate, and this can be disconcerting at first. Once the program is approached from this point of view, its native capabilities become apparent.
