Audacity Forum

OK, so Export in all its forms didn't work, did you Save the Project?

If you put the computer to sleep or turned it off between now and the event, there may not be a show any more.

What happened to the computer between the end of the show and now?

I don't think the file is damaged. I think you ran out of drive space. Look at your hard drive. Do you have 6GB of free space? That's the minimum needed to do any production at all on a 4-hour show. That and Audacity will not work into a highly fragmented hard drive. Defrag -- Right Click Start > Ex...

Upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscore and dash. Those are the safe characters to use in a filename -- all three computer platforms. I suppose I need to add the restriction "English." I push files to company branches all over the world and don't use spaces, either. Quick, what's...

Many people use GVerb included in Audacity 1.3. If you're on a Mac, you also get AUMatrixReverb. The reason everybody's effect always sounds like trash is you can't actually, really make this effect, and for a lot of the same reasons that you can't filter an echo out of a performance. If you stand i...

You need to get that down to something we can all break. How long is the WAV file? What are your Audacity settings?

Can you get any of these WAV files to do it?

Of the three timing errors that computers have, you may have number three. It's possible to have a sound card inside your machine that's so cheap that the playback of a music track is a different time, duration, or tempo than when it was recorded. You sing or play the rhythm track and then play that...

Two problems. -- Audacity will not Save a sound file. You have to Export to get a sound file. -- Audacity will not edit a MP3 file. It converts the MP3 to a high quality internal format and then exports to a new MP3 when you're done. Each format change produces some damage. There are a number of pur...

<<<I assumed this problem was universal, which is why I didn't post specifically to the OSX sub-forum, the environment in which I work. There's flag down on the play and the home team takes a time out. And you did this without testing it? Even a little bit? We provide individual operating system por...

You wouldn't need any of this file stuff if you streamed it live from the church.

Do you both have internet access? I mean reasonably fast access? You can investigate free file hosting. There are places that allow you to put files on-line and either make you also host commercials, "This Free File Download is brought to you by Skippy Peanut Butter!!" or transfer files at...
