Audacity Forum

You posted in the Audacity 1.2 forum. Are you running 1.2? Audacity 1.2 is seriously old and not supported on modern computers.

Most of the forum elves are running Audacity 1.3.12 in spite of the "Beta" warnings.

You can open up your AUP file in a text editor and read it. It will tell you where the show or Project is expecting to find its assets. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/aup1.jpg Read down to "aliasfile". That's the file and folder that Audacity is expecting to find. Note there are two, one &...

Did you get the lame from the same place you got Audacity? This is a complaint from someone who got the wrong one. We use a custom blend of lame. And, by the way, you should not be in Audacity 1.2. That's hopelessly out of date and not supported on newer computers. No Audacity will not edit MP3 file...

<<<(unless you have some overriding reason to do so).>>> My overriding reason for recording a mono microphone in stereo is delivery. I know my editor is expecting a stereo sound file no matter what the performance. You're right. Most of the time you don't need stereo and the files sizes are half wha...

Can you point to the specific place where they tell us what to do? Within the WAV format, you can have variations and they're not all universally supported. I'm also surprised they accept WAV at all. Everything on phone systems is compressed to save space and money.

I used Audition as well and I don't remember anything like that.

In slightly different English words, Audacity Projects do not save UNDO. That's a feature request, typically from people who have gotten burned. Here it is the next day, we turned the computer on and now we need to UNDO the last edit. Sorry. I hope you saved all your original sound files. That's ano...

<<<now what can i do to save all 25 tracks as one file?>>> As in the post, select and Copy track two only and Paste it to the end of track one. Select track three only, Copy and Paste it to the end of tracks one-and-two. Continue as needed. When you copied all of them on one timeline, delete layers ...

Thank you.

You violated the Audacity rule of only doing production in one sound format. Audacity doesn't convert well and you can cause some serious problems by crossing formats.
