Audacity Forum

O.K. steve. Thanks. I've never used Brasero, but a neighbor is a Linux Guru, so I'll pick his brain on that. Maybe I'll get my life's chronicle recorded and burned to CD's before I die. TexasJim

Thanks, steve and Koz: I'm beginning to get the picture. So, if I Export my recordings to a Folder, and when I get all of them done, would I move them as .wav files to a burner program, such as Brasero? TexasJim

steve: I've been saying from the get-go: Audacity won't let me SAVE Project. When I hit that instruction, I get the WARNING I posted way back. It says I have to use Export or something, because I have a FILE, not a PROJECT. That hasn't changed. I tried. TexasJim

O.K., steve: That works. But I'm confused. If my "Project" is a group of folders(.aup and _data for each song) do I have to keep all that in the documents Folders in my computer? Should I set up a sub-folder just for my dozen related song tracks under my album name? When I have all twelve songs comp...

Thanks, steve. Test 1_data seems to be a FOLDER. I right-click and open it, and I get a folder named e00. I open it,and I get a folder named d00. I open it and I get six FILES(not folders) as follows: e0000d2a.au e0000dcb.au e0000ee8.au e0000135.au e0000655.au e0000683.au If I open the first of the ...

steve: Since I lost two days of recordings, I'm just using a short stereo track I called Test 1. As I said, I exported it to a documents folder in my computer, and I have three files, called Test 1.aup, Test 1.wav, and Test 1_DATA. I can open the first two with Audacity and play them. When I close, ...

When I have Audacity open, I have no Recent Projects, and File OPEN links to my computer documents file. Both the .wav file and the .aup will open with Audacity, but both are FILES, not a Project. I can play them and edit them. I can't SAVE them. They are in a document folder in my computer. There i...

I wish. When I click O K in the warning box, I'm back to square one. I don't have a Project, I only have a file. If I try to SAVE the file, I get the same warning box again, a loop!. I can only EXPORT my file. There must be something that's keeping my file from becoming a Project. My file DOES show ...

Thanks. The box contains, as follows: WARNING 'SAVE PROJECT' is for an Audacity project, not an audio file. For an audio file that will open in other apps, use EXPORT Don't show this warning again. CANCEL O K I appreciate your attempts to help. I did this years back with no problems, but everything ...

Thanks. When I finish my recording work, the only Save options on my menu are Save Project, Save Project As, and Save Compressed Project. All three result in an error block that says only Projects can be saved, and I must Export my work, since it's not a Project. ????? Thanks TexasJim
