Thanks Koz. I've switched to 16 bit but I believe it remains restricted to approx. a 4 gb file size in wav. I've therefore resorted to breaking up the recording into two pieces. I'm still working out the relationship between GB and minutes using 16 v. 32 bit. Seems, I think, that recording at 16 bit...

Or you could break the WAV files into chunks aof an hour apiece say -use the labelling function to create track labels ( CTRL+B k/b shortcut) at each break - and then use Export Multiple to create a set of WAV files. Note that MP3 is lossy and will throw some audio data away (you probably know that...

It displayed a message to the effect it was exporting the entire audacity project to wav. It took about 20 odd minutes to export. I didn't check the size of the auda...

Thanks, Koz. Filenames are proper. The strange thing is that it worked once. You would think that successfully creating a 5 gig file which will run in VLC or MS's media player would suggest there is no problem with the programme or o/s. The problem must lie with me. I'll try it again to see if there...

I have tried (1) export, (2) export selection, (3) setting the start and end time as 0.00.00 - 5.00.00 for each export and export selection, (4) not setti...
