I was looking through the MP3s that I thought I had produced successfully and the first set of bad albums started on 11/4/2010. I think that's when I switched from 1.2.x to 1.3.11...if that matters.

Koz, I first experienced the issue when my workstation was running 1.3.12 as well. For those playing at home, I was cutting out the first 4-5 seconds or so...leaving a half second or so before the music started. Once that was cut, then I think I was putting my cursor around 7:09, selecting track sta...

Thanks for checking out the project for me. I think I'm just going to rework the previous albums that were giving me problems...about a dozen. I also discovered I can reduce more of the ground noise by grounding my computer chassis to a water pipe above...virtually no ground noise now. Albums now so...

I'm not talking about a laptop battery. The CMOS battery is the little watch battery on the motherboard that keeps the clock and computer configuration in memory while the computer is off. The clock being consistently off is a major danger signal. If the battery goes far enough down, it will kill t...

I re-digitized an album on the recorder machine (XP SP3 x86, 1.3.14) and copied over the network to my workstation (Win7 x64, 1.3.14). I tried to export a track and it corrupted right at the beginning when encoding to MP3. Are you exporting to your local machine and then transferring the exported f...

The machine that is recording is using an older 1.3.x version, Windows XP SP3, and the clock is off (bad battery and it is getting old resetting the time). See that thin blue line way at the bottom of the sound channel at -1? That's DC or battery voltage which should never appear in the sound. Two ...

I think I found my issue...or at least a clue. I re-digitized an album on the recorder machine (XP SP3 x86, 1.3.14) and copied over the network to my workstation (Win7 x64, 1.3.14). I tried to export a track and it corrupted right at the beginning when encoding to MP3. For giggles I exported to OGG ...

The recorder machine is a pretty bare-bones Frankenstein type of machine...all it ever does is record LPs and cassettes. It's like a winter beater. My LP recordings average around 400-500MB per side...sometimes I've seen them hit 700MB if I forgot to stop recording. Now that I think of it, sometimes...

To recap, you selected parts of a known, good, working sound show and File > Export Selected to what? A WAV sound file? MP3? Then you opened up that same cut file in Audacity when it didn't sound right somewhere else? Where else? The break point on the same show changes with version of Audacity? Wh...

I'm not recording this. The project files were recorded on another machine successfully. all I'm doing here is opening the project, selecting what I want, then going to File > Export Selection. The attachment shows two attempts from the same source project to do the exporting from different versions...
