Audacity Forum

Projects only open when the .AUP file and the _DATA folder are in the same place like on your desktop or some other folder. If they're separated for some reason, different folders, the show complains and will not open. It is a little worrisome that the AUP project manager file wouldn't open without ...

<<<now i have all the paths set to where i want them so no more monkeying around like this.>>> The problem is trying to explain that to somebody who only has a very shaky notion how their computer works. Much better and more simple: You can't move an Audacity Project and if you did, put it back. Koz

Do you use Skype? Skype can mess up sound pathways whether or not Audacity is there.

It's being considered.

The AUP project manager file (it's not a sound file) and the _DATA folder need to be in the same place. If you have one in one folder and the other somewhere else, the show is never going to open. It's scary that this is happening because the next thing you're going to complain about is pieces of yo...

You stepped into a squishy problem. Audacity plays fast and loose with sound levels. The bouncing light sound meters only meter the top half of the waveforms and the blue waveforms themselves are not tracked in the negative direction with any accuracy. People like to post isolated questions. What's ...

If you were on a Mac, you'd be good to go with the default configuration -- better than Music CD quality -- but if you're on a PC you might want to reconsider the sound card. They're not winning any awards for sound quality given that they're in a noisy computer and are generally considered a throw-...
