Audacity Forum

It's not because of how the volume is set on WMP because wnen I play tracks (downloaded from a cd) for eg at the same volume on WMP it's much louder.

I then record myself speaking and then cut and paste my speeches editing them to fit in between songs. I have made up jingles usi...

I use Audacity to make up podcasts. I record music and speeches then edit them together. Well, this is what i "want" to do but what I'm finding is after working on this process for an hour or two Audacity suddenly wants to close down and so I lose everything I've worked on.
