Ok, let's take this a step or two at a time.

1) You say you downloaded Audacity and apparently installed it, since you recorded. Assuming you are using a PC, you should be able to restart the program from an icon on your desktop. What you don't want to do is to restart the program that installed Audacity in the first place, which it sounds like you are doing. So don't look in your files (for example, your downloads). Look on your desktop for an Audacity instead.

2) Assuming you can now smoothly start and leave Audacity a few times without doing anything but that, let's move to the other parts of your statement: i even was able to record myself: For this to have worked ideally, there is a little pulldown menu in Audacity that allows you select your input device. With you Eleven Rack connected, you should see it as an option in this menu. Do you?

We'll worry about everything else after you get this far! A step at a time...

Sinful, you might take a look at this thread, which explains how to make the Eleven Rack work in Audacity.
Eleven Rack / Editor / Pro Tools Help

The track is supposed to start from the beginning, but you should be able to punch in to record at any point you like. As long as the source track is present, Audacity will always export from the beginning of the earliest starting track, to the end of the final ending point (on any track).

sinful, in Audacity you do not have to hit record and then wait for the entire track to play up to the point where you want to add your bit. You can place your cursor anywhere in the track and click to mark that spot, then when you punch "record" it will start playing back from there.

If you are using your Marshall dsl15 you will have to mic it and run the mic through something like a USB mixer.

jon3b, while waiting for sinful, you could always jump in on that Shuffle in A track that still has lots of room on it. Hint, hint. :)

That's a great idea jon3b. It's always good to hear from you. Some of my best ideas come from trying to copy your licks. :ROFLMAO:

OOPS Got side tracked with a last minute gig over the Labor day weekend. Therefore sinful, you weren't holding anything up. I was.

I guess I missed something, cuz I thought the track was full. (Heads to studio to reconnect gear)
