Audacity Forum

is there a way to recover such weirdly lost projects? Is there anything weird about your setup? Are you using a school's network services either to run Audacity or to save the work? Audacity doesn't like networks. It doesn't understand network switching and delays. Did you install a virus product o...

you get back a clean digital copy What have they done with my dirt?!? This will not go well with the people who went through all this to avoid "digital artifacts." It's totally possible to create perfect sounding MP3 files, but it's a time bomb. You may not be able to make playlists or do...

The gold standard is still to force Windows to show you the official filename. It's possible the file is corrupted or someone made a file with the incorrect extension.

I want to punch this idea a little. When you overdub, the computer has to manage playback of all your backing tracks absolutely perfectly and record your live performance absolutely perfectly . If anything slows down the system, you could get clicks, ticks or pops in the sound. Do Not leave Skype or...

Probably one of the worst things to happen in this process isn't audio or data. After you get into this, you start to wonder if some of those albums are worth the work.

"I haven't listened to this album since 1983. Do I really want it in the collection?"
