Why would Windows 7 or 10 bind the 1st and 2nd mic input into one stereo track? Why wouldn’t they see 4 inputs and allow audacity to select 1,2,3, or 4 tracks? I’ve tried Windows 10 and the same thing happens. That means that 2 microphones are ‘bound’ together in one stereo track and the 3rd and 4th mic inputs are ‘bound’ in one stereo track and i can’t choose both input options simultaneously to get 4 simul tracks. With proper drivers for the mixer and the latest Audacity (2.2.2) with up to date drivers on the director’s laptop, Audacity would only allow me to select ‘Behringer 1 and 2’ as an input option or ‘Behringer 3 and 4’ as an input option. The director had a ‘modern’ laptop running Windows 7 Pro so we started there. Now I’m trying to use a small portable Behringer UMC404HD USB mixer to do 4 mics in a classroom choir setting. I’ve used it with a Phonic firewire mixer to do 8 tracks at once, I’ve used with a ASUS 4 track USB mixer to do 4 tracks at once (4 mics). I stumbled on a ‘workhorse’ ‘old school’ HP laptop where the internal sound card setup under Windows XP (!) allows multitrack recording. Over the years I have tried various laptops and operating systems. My goal is to do 4 track simultaneous recording through audacity. I’ve used Audacity for years and am stymied at what is going on with my hardware.
