Recording multiple tracks with Audacity

Rigsby · Post by **Rigsby** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 5:42 am

Can anyone show me how to do this? I'm getting stuck. I'm using a Tascam 1804 interface, Audacity recognises it but won't give me the option to assign channels to tracks.

Really lost - anyone?

as of the newest version of Audacity, it can't be done. if you set up 8 tracks and hit "record", you'll get 8 identical tracks, each with a mixture of all 8 input signals.

I emailed the developers, at the time they weren't in a hurry to change this.
