Hi Gale, actually it was the hardware playthrough that I got to work. The only
thing was that I couldn't activate this by the transport menu. I had to go into
preferances and under recording specify that I wanted that checkbox checked for
hardware playthrough. This works well, but I don't know how to add a command
into audacity to togle this via a keystroke. I appreciate your feedback on
setting keystrokes for existing commands, and this I have looked into, but to
add a totally new command is something that I have never done, and I am curious
to know if this is possible. THus it would be nice to do IE Add new command,
Turn hardware playthrough on or off, then add a keystroke to activate it.
Otherwise, my only other option is to constantly pop in an out of preferences
to toggle this manually. Mind you though, it is a handy feature and I may
decide to just leave it on :-). Thanks,
