Hi you all,

I finally got a different mic, and it is a an MXL USB.006. I am having a great big problem, and hope that someone has experience with it and can guide me.

I am using Audacity, and I have just got a new computer but it is Windows Vista instead of XP.

The microphone will record just fine, I can see the recording gauges working and see the vocals, but the problem is, in order to hear the sound, I have to unplug the mic from the usb port. That would not be a problem, except that I cannot hear the reference track to sing to when the mic is plugged in.

I have my preferences set to play other tracks while recording.

Nothing is muted.

Volume is up.

Does anyone at all use a USB mic and audacity? I want so badly to use it, and I hope that someone can advise me.

Thank you so much for listening and any help you can give me,

Letha
