Was Audacity open and running when the power went away? If it was managing the temp file at the time, there is no temp file. The Project should have survived, though. Were you editing the show when the power dumped? We warn people often to Export As WAV at the end of a critical capture session. That...

I can't find the tutorial that goes with this, but it's not that hard. While your one long capture is on your timeline, put a Label (Apple-B) at the beginning of each song you want to push over to iTunes as a separate piece.

I'm betting you're not recording your microphone the second time. You're recording Mix-Out or other computer summation services. So what you're really doing is recording your own performance plus re-recording the original performance a little late. If you do that trick just right, the high frequenci...
