Help with Audacity

[guitarsalad14]

Ok I plugged in my mic (to the computer) and put it on my amp and pressed record on the Audacity control panel, but nothing happened. All the things I played were not recorded. Help!

go to the preferences and make sure your mic is selected at the input device.

I have been using audacity for a year now.. It will do VST plugins too.. Go to there site and browse around.

oh yeah

is it the mac version ? are you using the Imic?

Sorry, but how exactly do you use the VST plug ins? Ive tried to put on in the Plug-Ins folder, and it does nothing.

[guitarsalad14]

I did make sure that the preferences were set to microphone and I am using windows. Any advice would really help guys.

Nevermind, I got it to work. I just pllugged in the mic to far.

I used Audacity for a while and all it did was cause 'fatal exception' errors. I finally got fed up with it and deleted the entire program. I'd be in the middle of recording something or listening back and it would just crash out of nowhere. No other program has done that before or since.

Sometimes, if I use it with say Media Player or something else, the pc just restarts. Maybe a warning to only use Audacity on its own?

I have another question now. I recorded a track and I was going to do another track but when I played it back there was an awful amount gain buzzing. I turned down the gain on the track control panel thing but now I can barely hear the tracks. Also, i put a click track on and i was just using it to record a rhythm part but it recorded onto the rhythm track and I cant get rid of it. Sorry if I confused you. HELP!
