Re: Volume vs Gain?

Re: Newbie trying to share files - they won't open
The AUP file is the list of instructions that tell Audacity what to do with all the stuff in the _DATA folder. You can't change the name of either one and they both have to be in the same location or folder to open. Just double click the AUP file. this is great thank you! Apparently she could not op...
