Audacity Forum

Let's back up. When you save an Audacity Project, it creates a management AUP file and a _DATA folder like this. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg Do you get those? When you export a sound file you should only have one file like this. Screen Shot 2019-01-29 at 8.45.54.pn...

I found a work around finally, which is to use switch converter and pull in the audacity project file directly,

We have to be using the wrong words. Switch Converter should not be able to open an Audacity Project.

I have to leave for a bit.

I can open the project up and all the edits are there. But when I open the wav into audacity they are not there. That's not what I said. Close Audacity. Open Audacity, open a project, make sure the edits are there and export a WAV. Does the WAV have the edits? Did the Project open without the edits...

and then rejoin it with the video That's the part we can't do. You need a video editor for that. If you install FFMpeg into your Audacity, it will open the sound part of many different types of files. It's probably a good idea to install the latest Audacity from here, too https://forum.audacityteam...

There is one "easy " thing wrong. You're too loud. View > Show Clipping. That will put thin red lines over all the blue waves that are too loud—that reach all the way to one in either direction. Those are the areas where Audacity stopped accurately following your voice and has distorted so...

If I can't figure this out can I download another program and dump my audacity files into it? No. That would give you a closed cyclical failure. Other programs can't open Audacity Projects and the most reliable way to get a show into a different program is Export as WAV. I'm thinking about how I wo...

It's not unusual for stiff application of Noise Reduction to make that crisp problem worse. We won't know any of that until you post a clean sample.

I guess for the first level, this is a family forum and the clip is very much R rated. Do you have any of that raw, before you did anything to it? We can't take effects out of a clip and once you do anything wrong, that's the way it is forever since applying multiple layers of corrections is not rec...

Did you get it from here? https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ Do you use cloud services...knowingly? I mean as part of your day-to-day activities? That's becoming frighteningly common. Audacity is not the best in using network connected services. If the error is valid, this may be the first indic...

so it must be something between these two points. [Following this avidly.] I would have thought that alone would eliminate the microphone from the suspect list. Normally, yes. But this isn't normal. Do you use any other sound programs including Skype, Chat or Conference? Games? I think it was Popul...
