<<<I really need to a trick to hide the fact that my WAV come from a mp3>>>

MP3 (and other format) compression damage is permanent and in extreme cases, fatal. MP3 (AAC, MP4) should never be used in production for exactly this reason.

<<<I will have my wife who is a computer engineer to take a look at it.>>>

Does she post help on free audio editor forums?

Are you changing any of this in the Windows Control Panels? Audacity is a complete slave to whatever Windows is doing and Windows will not always follow when you change something in Audacity.

As a fuzzy rule, Audacity doesn't do well with complex systems or over a network. It has no provision for dealing with network delays or host hand-offs.

Delays kill live production. You can't tell the violin player to wait while the system clears packets.

Why are you using a UCA202? The MacBook has a terrific Stereo Line-In connection on the side of the machine. I do everything with an external analog mixer and an adapter cable to plug the RCA outs from the mixer to the 1/8" stereo connection on the Mac. If you do that just as a test and the noi...

I use Audacity 1.3.12. Not 1.2. When I get to the end of a show capture, I press Stop and File > Export a WAV immediately. Sometimes I never get around to Saving a Project at all. If I think about it I do it now, but I never used to. Projects are brittle and easily damaged. You can't easily email on...

As a rule, I don't use Audacity Projects for important shows. Capture the work and export a WAV sound file. Then make a protection copy. I've done several major productions like that, successfully and with perfect stability. You can damage an Audacity Project several ways: You can use forbidden char...

Projects will only open if the AUP file and the _DATA folder are in the same directory. They're married and they don't get along well separated. The other thing that can create silent shows is external audio files. Unless you changed it, Audacity uses external sound files, but leaves them where they...
