I saved 3 versions of the .aup file....one with the raw audio I recorded, one with the edited audio pre-music, and one final version with edited audio and music, and NONE of them will open.

When did you record/save those? I can't tell if this was weeks ago or yesterday.

I'm reading through that. Is anything else missing? You seem to have walked into an echoey, empty, dusty room where you were expecting shelves and jars of pickles. When was the last time you did that virus scan where you can't use your machine for fifteen minutes? How large is your hard drive and ho...

I opened the sound files like normal in Audacity, and exported all 36 audio tracks (which were showing normal sound waves in Audacity) as WAV files. That seems to be "Patient Zero" for this problem. I would click just above the Mute button on one track to select it and then File > Export ...

Oh, so you have one single Project with 35 tracks. I was obliquely alluding to the people that insist on recording 13 hour shows. That usually doesn't go well. Without going back through this again, did you Save a Project with slightly different filenames as a backup? For example timed backups? 2014...

I settled on three main Zoom tools. Drag-select some portion of the show and Zoom into it with Control-E (SELECTION). If I went in too far, I can zoom out a little bit with Control-3 (you just have to memorize that one). As in your case, Zoom out Full with Control-F. I can do an awful lot of work in...

In Windows, Control-F will "zoom" so the work fits left to right (FULL). There's lots of other zooms and you might want to bone up on them because that's the best way to select a small portion of audio for editing.

Which virus program, and do you like to put punctuation marks in filenames? What's a typical filename, say one of the longer ones?
