removing them How? There is a shortcut for manual removal. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=71556 That's the exhaustive description. In essence, you drag-select the bad sound and through a magic keystroke, paste over it with well-behaved background sound (or whatever you choo...

I'm amazed that this can only be done manually What should amaze you is that MP3 has built-in errors like that. All these looping and merging tricks work well with perfect quality WAV or AIFF sound files. And no, converting your MP3s to WAV doesn't work unless you surgically take out the timing err...

the piano strings will probably become brittle at -200C.

Not to mention the wood. Given the tension in a piano you might have a thermo-mechanical event. Even if you fail the actual experiment, the YouTube posting of the explosion will go viral instantly. Video everything.

it will eventually flatten out at the molecular movement of the string which is a constant with temperature.

You will, of course, want to freeze the piano with liquid nitrogen........

how long the wave lasts using Audacity. I can tell you some of that. It will last forever and your experiment is going to be limited by your ability to measure it. A real world microphone, preamplifier and digitizer all have internal noise and when that noise volume and the tone volume pass each ot...

the tracks still don't merge seamlessly You're trying to do all this on one timeline, right? That doesn't work because MP3 has built-in gaps and errors. It's a terrible production format. You have to use two timelines and overlap them like in the illustration. Use the Zoom tools to get right down t...

This makes it much easier to beat-match them, too, if you need that.

This is one of the problems of trying to do production in MP3. You are, right? MP3 doesn't have well behaved, stable structure because it was originally part of a video format. Whenever it needed structure, it just leaned on the video. I would be importing both songs into Audacity and they would app...

Ableton 9 What did Abelton say it produced? Do you still have access to the instructions? If the recommendation fails, then the corruption may have partially scrambled the file header(s). That's rough to fix because Audacity can deal with broken files or healthy files, but not ones that are partial...

We publish the Audiobook Mastering Suite which guarantees RMS and Peak. If you recorded well in a quiet, echo-free room, you may be done.

That's the long form. This is the abbreviated version.
