Dear David,
You are correct! I’m currently using Audacity 2.0.6. In the last few days
there are so many version numbers that my mind is warbling. LOLL
Respectfully,
James

Hi James,
just checking that when you say you are using Audacity 1.06, I presume that you
are using version 2.0.6:

Dear Andrew & all...
Firstly I want to once again express my sincere appreciation for all of
the valuable help that you all have been providing! It's extremely appreciated!
Well after I think that it has been 4 or 5 days now and more uninstalls
and installs of Audacity and other applications, I think that I am finally
getting a finger tip grasp on Audacity. I have to say that I am extremely
excited over having found Audacity, as well as the assistance that I have found
on this list. I had been struggling with Reaper for several weeks off and on,
and seemed to be getting frustrated more than anything. With work and family
responsibilities I can not always spend hours a day trying to figure out a new
program, which is why I had continued to check out other DAWS programs.
Audacity is easy to figure out at least the basics, and I am already practicing
recording and editing tracks. I am really getting excited to order my new
mixer, which now I can see will be very beneficial.
Today I have been attempting to solve one issue that I'm having with
Audacity, but I have accepted the fact that I may have to compromise. My DAWS
machine is an older lap top with XP Professional on it. I have been trying to
load the newest version of Audacity on it (2.13), but while the program
installs OK, when I try to start the program I get an error message that says
that audacity.exe has failed to initialize properly. I went on line with my
main work computer and read that this error is often caused by XP not having
frameworks. So I downloaded frameworks from Microsoft, but it didn't help. I
have loaded and unloaded Audacity 2.13 a bunch of times after doing a clean up
on my XP, but nothing seems to help. I can load Audacity 1.06 though, and it
seems to be working relatively good. I can't get any of the sound effects to
work, even though they appear in a plug in folder in the Audacity files in
Windows. But happily volume settings, panning, recording, deleting, and other
basic functions are working, so I guess that unless I stumble on a resolution,
I can get a lot of use out of Audacity, even with my limitations. *smile* I'm
not sure, but I think that maybe the reason that I can't open the newest
version of Audacity, may be why the effects won't work even in 106. But
luckily I have stacks of external effect units that I can use with a few cables.
Respectfully,
James

Apologies James, I meant to comment earlier on your tracks issue. As you
have now discovered, you do not need to create a new track before starting a
recording in Audacity. Not all DAWs work that way. You only need to create
a new track if wanting to copy something into it.

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for your help! You all have been great, and this list
has become an extremely positive experience for me, and I look forward to
many years more!
As a note... You may recall that my Audacity was recording two tracks
for every one that I actually requested. In other words when I went to the
Tracks menu and pressed either Audio Track or Stereo track, two tracks would
be established. I'm not sure why this happens, although after exploring
Audacity's Preferences as suggested by this list, I am guessing that this is
being done as a result of my interface. Now for the interesting, or curious
aspect. I have discovered that if I establish a new track simply by
pressing R to begin recording without actually establishing a new track, a
new single track is established without its twin. When I get two tracks
from going to the Tracks menu, I have also learned that the first track is
actually blank, while it is the second track that holds what I had recorded.
This is no trouble since I now know what to expect, but it was a bit
confusing for me in the beginning. I hope that my description will help
someone else who may have this same issue on their Audacity in the future.
Respectfully,
James
