Audacity Forum

Ok sorry for being so new to this. That's OK. Just tell us what's happening and in as much detail as possible. We can't see your machine, so we have no idea what it looks like when it goes wrong. The way it's supposed to work is the AUP file has all the information to tell Audacity what to do with ...

Forget the folders and files. That's Audacity internal housekeeping. Close everything. Double click the AUP file and the AUP file will put all that back together into your show. Again, Do Not change any file or folder names or mess with anything inside the _DATA folder.

For my breaths I use noisegate plug in.

The performance is claimed to have wide theatric dynamic range and noise gates tend to fall apart without a level playing field.

That's one of the "easy to dig yourself a hole" tools.

It makes me completely insane when somebody with a good voice and terrific presentation (the hard parts) encounters one stupid problem and the whole thing falls apart.

Anything, really. I posted the idea to the other elves. It's too late to back out.

The question I know we've all been waiting for.
Where is your microphone?
