There are essentially three things that must be checked, I'll give you
the direct shortcuts but you could reach them also by the manner
described by Andrew:
- Shift+H: host. Can probably stay as it is. Wasapi has the shortest
latency and greatest bit depth but direct sound and MME would serve
too.
- Shift+I, the input device, should be either mic or line or
something, in any case not loopback or SPDIF.
- Shift+N, the number of channels, for computer sounds, it should be
too, for a normal mic just one.
Cheers

Hi Judy
I am assuming you either have a computer with an in-built microphone or an
external microphone is connected. Let me know if I am barking up the wrong
tree.
After launching Audacity:
1. Press control-shift-f6
2. Press shift-tab until you reach Recording Device. It will probably
be on something like Stereo Mix or What you Hear according to my guesswork.
3. Arrow up/down until you find Microphone.
4. Press control-f6 to get back to your tracks area and try recording.
5. Let us know how you did.

Greetings to all,
Although I have had Audacity for quite some time and love it, some basics I
haven't delved into.
I use Audacity to record from software or internet, but how do I change it
so I can record from my PC's voice recorder? I made this change a long
time
ago so I could record the other way, but don't remember how I did it.
Thanks for the refresher.
I particularly love that you can change pitch of music. A lot of second
and
third generation recordings raise the music pitch, and I like my original
recordings in their original key,so this has been great to apply to my
music
collection from the 50s and 60s.
Thanks. Very much.
Judy
