I have a couple musical tracks

Where did the original tunes come from? iTunes pays attention to copy protection. You may have confused the FairPlay system.

The only way to produce left and right spacing is for Audacity to Export a Stereo show. It's a little confusing because you don't know until later that Audacity did that, but just nudging the panning control will produce that conversion effect. Audacity doesn't make a fuss about it. The left and rig...

What's the show?

Let us know how it went. We're always interested in user experiences for the tools, filters and effects.

I don't think we've ever had complaints about this series—other than operator error. It's certified for Perfect Overdubbing, too, if you decide to perform three-part harmony to yourself. You're all set except for the microphone part.

Since it's possible this can't get any worse, the desperation method is to record the show on Something Else. Do you have an iPod or iPhone? Get the free MusicMemo APP.

Are you on a Network Connected Drive or are you editing with one foot in a cloud drive?

Has this ever worked?

You mean File > Save, right? There have been times when Audacity tries to save work to a forbidden system area. Either Windows or your Virus software may not like that. Try intentionally saving or exporting work to the Desktop rather than letting Audacity guess at the location. Disconnect the comput...
