Audacity: I think I solved the problem I posted about wherein stereo tracks in all versions had become muted. When I opened the projects and found drums muted again, instead of "importing" the .wav from original stereo recording, I opened the .wav and just highlighted and copied it. I created a new ...

New (error message below) news about unwanted muting in 2.0 and old versions, for Steve and Gale and everyone: Apparently I have a "missing aliased audio file" each time I open projects; and it's always the stereo drums vs. the mono guitar, or other instr. I wonder if using the original laptop I rec...

Hi -- Just more clarification -- the second, "replacement" drum track I brought in after the first one muted itself, I split the track to mono to see if the muting would continue upon saving. It did mute both the original stereo and new "split" drum track open re-opening. And to continue, just fyi -...

I mixed and rendered, yes, they are still muted. I import the old stereo wav drum track and I can hear it. It's only upon closing the project that the drum tracks (3 now in the same project) become muted. Different PC's do this for me, btw. I'ts not such a big deal cause I can continue to import the...

Yes, I hear Steve's .wav file both right and left, etc. etc. Yep. I open the project, and now BOTH the original stereo drum track AND the one I imported to double it are now muted. A long message about how external audio info is missing, and 3 choices about whether I want to treat it as silence or, ...

I will wait for it to happen and try this! thanks
What happens it you Tracks > Mix and Render, does the waveform still exist without audio?

I sure appreciate the support. Are you saying "we" is someone at Audacity, or.... who is the man behind the curtain? Not that I need to know. yes, I'll look forward to it not continuing to happen -- but because in my multi-tracks (max of 9, 10 tracks) this muting ONLY happens to the stereo drum trac...

Originally, 1. 24, now using the new version. The bug remains in the initial weird "muting" though, of the past tracks, not of new imported ones.

I'll look at dependencies and gains slider. But yes, this was my own recorded track, not someone else's track imported. This was the foundation, first track. Suddenly gets muted. BUT, it's the only stereo track, cause all subsequent tracks are just one mic in front of a guitar or bass.. the one gett...

Thanks, guys! No, solo was never pushed. And the drum track was NOT imported, it was the original building block. I'm finding that when I import the indentical one to "match" the old, it is not usually suffering from this strange muting. Maybe the newest 2.0 is better..... I appreciate the answers!
