Your problem doesn't fit in any "normal" scenario. Does the MP3 you made open and play in Windows Media? Instead of making and opening an MP3, Export a WAV (Microsoft) and try to open that. You can get into trouble by including punctuation marks in filenames, but that usually gives you Win...

So, for example, if you have a peak at 400Hz, you can be sure that a 400Hz tone happened at some time in your selection. You might like the Left Drop Down > View Spect...

The first that comes to mind is Clean Restart Windows. Shift > Shutdown. Start. That cleans out the most existing Windows activities. Just because you shut Windows down normally doens't mean Windows forgot where it was or what it was doing. Make sure all your devices and hardware are connected and w...

How many tracks do you have and how long is the show?
