Which Audacity? All three numbers. I'm using 2.0.6.

How long were you gone and did the machine go to sleep?
What kind of Mac and which OS? I'm typing on a Mini with OS-X 10.9.5

Did it try to save a Project with a date in the filename?

For live performances, we recommend putting the bouncing red sound meters around -6 and the blue waves at about 50% up and down (same measurement, different meters). http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record-650.jpg If you're going to do this a lot, you can reconfigure Audacity to make the met...

Are you sure you can take out the little gaps manually? Did you try on one or two? It's not obvious that you can do that. It's possible data error on the disks is dropping musical notes. If it is, then no amount of Truncate Silence is going to help. The notes just aren't there any more.

the soundwaves do look kinda small. Listening to the work during recording is important, but it's nothing compared to getting the bouncing sound meters and blue waves right. The blue waves should be roughly half-height (50% up and down) and the red meters should bounce around -6. That's for live pe...

can I boost my recording quality a little bit? Probably not audibly, no. As has been pointed out repeatedly, 16 bit loudness range exceeds many lower-end microphone systems and even some mid-range ones. Audacity converts internally to a nose-bleed high 32-bit Floating for editing, filters and effec...

I grasped the acx guidelines, I set the recorder accordingly; Then something else happened wrong. The MP3 ACX specifications are completely clear and transparent. They were chosen so the company can re-sample to a lower quality without the show falling apart. They would never have accepted that cli...

Should they say yes, there is another portion of the forum you might consider.

It works on EVERYTHING! It works on everything you shot with that microphone and under those conditions . It won't necessarily work for anybody else, or even you if you change anything significant. All that and you still have to pump out your 15 minute ACX submission clip and they still have to acc...

It's three times bigger/longer.
Ten seconds of mono at 44.1/16 is 0.882 MB (just under 1 MB, which is why it fits so well as a forum attachment).

Ten seconds of mono at 96/24 is 2.88 MB.

Stereo is double that. Say 6 MB every ten seconds in fuzzy numbers.
