Feedback happens for many reasons, in many places. The home recording studio is no exception to this fact, as is open-source software, such as Audacity. In this How-To, we'll look at why feedback can happen in Audacity, and how to fix it.
Step 1
If, when you are attempting to record a song with Audacity, after clicking the Record button you hear a steadily increasing audible tone or whining sound, you have a feedback problem. To correct this: open Audacity. When you are at the main screen, click "Edit" then click "Preferences" located at the bottom of the drop-down window that appears.
Step 2
In the Preferences window, look for the options that state "Play other tracks while recording new one" and "Software Playthrough (Play new track while recording it) - Tip: you never want to play a track while you're recording it, as this will result in feedback.
Step 3
That being said, un-checking "Software Playthrough (Play new track while recording it)" will stop your feedback problem
