You saved a Project or Audacity keeps recovering the show from its crash tools?

If you're using the crash tools, can you save a Project?

How many other things are running on the machine? Do you use Network Connected Drives or Cloud storage for anything else, ever?

To strictly answer the question, use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) and shove the track into alignment. To fix it permanently, record your headphones by shoving them against the microphone. Play that back and measure the amount the two tracks miss. That's the compensation to add to ...

Click the file > File (from the desktop) > Get INFO.

Scroll down to Name and Extension. Delete the .txt extension. You should be left with Acx-check.ny and that should install. It may complain about changing an extension. That's OK.

Did you use punctuation marks in the name?

Use the ISO version of dates. Today is 2019-04-04 or 20190404. In general you should use Upper Case, Lower Case, Numbers, -Dash- and _Underscore_. Other characters can cause problems, particularly slash marks.

I have no idea what your skill level is, but one of the producers in our shop routinely came back with really clear, clean, pleasant voice sound. I asked him how he did it. "I recorded most of it in the back of my car....." I'm also assuming you're using a nice video editor. Audacity will ...

Watch "All The Stations" videos. The sound is almost universally crappy, but they build it into the show. "It's very windy here at Barnstable train station, north of London." There was one show where it was so windy the sound track was all wind trash and no voice. The woman perfo...

Post two clips you want to match. You get 20 seconds of mono dialog (one blue wave) per shot.

Oh, while I'm at it, what is the -1 to 1, and 1 to -1 vertical scale called? It's in percent. 50%, 100% etc. I believe future versions will convert to dB as many other apps use. As it is now, you just have to know that 50% is -6dB, 100% is 0dB and the timeline runs out of poop at around -24dB. So i...
