Echo during Audacity recording
Question:
When listening to a playing of an audio casette while recording, I hear both the playback and record audio a millisecond apart, creating a confusing echo. How can I mute one or the other?
I was a formet audio engineer at NBC-TV in Burbank for the news when Tom Brokaw was there. The mixing boards have come eons awy from that era.
Answer:
In Audacity, in Edit->Preferences, you’ll see two checkboxes – “Play other tracks while recording new one”, and “Software Playthrough”. Make sure both of these are unchecked.

I unchecked the “software playthrough”, and “Play another tracks….” buttons, and it worked. Many thanks.
