Re: Bad sounds appear when copied .aup file from remote location

There are two parts to an Audacity project. There is the "project file" (which has the file extension ".aup") and there is the audio data. The (.aup) project file does not contain any audio data. By default, the audio data is saved into a folder ending with "_data". Aud...

Re: Higher project sample rate

only now I understood that I have been exporting project's audio in low 44100 quality. Assuming that you are referring to the sample rate, 44100 Hz is very high quality (it exceeds the range of human hearing). And is it possible to import the mp3 with maximum rate as it was made at The maximum samp...
