Audacity Forum

We've noticed a problem in Audacity 3.0.2 if file names, or the directory in which the project is saved, has any apostrophe (single quote) characters. For Audacity 3.0.2, avoid using that character in an file or folder name. This problem has been fixed for the next version of Audacity.

Should I just try to export it, if it will do so, and finish any edits if I can in a new file? I'd suggest that you try that. Preferably export as "WAV 32-bit float". This format is very much like the format that Audacity uses internally and will be a perfect copy of the track. (16-bit WAV is "clos...

I have musescore and it's what I've been using, but I've been wanting to expand a bit

Reaper may also be a good option if you like learning new things.

Audacity does not directly support soundfonts, and Audacity's support for MIDI is very limited. For working with MIDI, MuseScore is a much better option. You can of course do the MIDI work in one program, then export / render the MIDI to a WAV (audio) file and perform additional editing / processing...

Audacity has no association with Amazon, so we only know as much as is in the public domain.

Try moving "Fatboy Drum Beats.aup3" to your "Documents" folder, and then open it from there.

I'm still baffled as to why the ACX Contact Us link takes you to Audible.

Because both ACX and Audible are part of Amazon.
"Audible" is the retail outlet for Amazon audiobooks.
"ACX" is the audiobook creators portal for Audible.

Which version of Audacity are you using?

If you are using Audacity 2.4.2 or earlier and you have moved or deleted the project "_data" folder, you must undelete / move it back to where it was.
