Audacity Forum

I'll put you down as another person trying to run Audacity over a network. I don't believe it's worked yet. Audacity doesn't know how to deal with network delays and packet management.

I guess we should probably correct one item right away. The M-Audio device doesn't produce AUP files.

From the web site...

"Simply record WAV (BWF) and MP3 files to CompactFlash or Microdrives."

So which did you do?

I understood that the reason Audacity woke up not saving all the sound files was that it was much faster managing already existing single external files than trying to make them all up out of billions of .au files.

<<<Just tried changing the file extensions to .au - bad idea. Now I get error messages looking for the missing .auf files. Don't remember which ones to switch back...>>> Right. Now you really have no show. Stay out of the _data folder, or I guess now it doesn't make any difference This is an old mov...

Oh, right.

I thought from the posting that Audacity was running on the PC used for Palm backups.

This can happen with a bad sound card. When you capture a live performance, the sound card creates a digital representation of the show and then sends it on to the hard drive for safekeeping. When you play back the performance, it goes through a different portion of the sound card. The two portions ...
