Record input settings? (Audacity)

[Kazuga]

Hello, I'm trying to record sounds via the input (what you hear) since it's an easy way to save the sound with good quality. I'm using Audacity for this.

I have been able to record via input, but that was before I reformatted my computer. Now the "mixer toolbar" (drop down list) is all gray and unselectable. I have tried doing what they suggest on this page but without any result.

I'm using Windows XP.

Anyone can help or know of any other program that might be able to do this?

What line in / hardware / cables are you using, and have you set up your audio driver to allow external imports / does it even allow line in sounds?


As for other software, Pro-tools trumps all in recording and mixing/mastering. It makes audacity look like a soggy gum drop.
