What is your "E" drive? Note that network drives are not the most reliable, and when writing thousands of files at the same time (as is typical of an Audacity project), it's easy to miss warnings about one or two bad writes (that can be devastating for the project). If "E" is an ...

So can you tell me if it is posible for the sound meter to messure "db spl 20 micropascals (of say) 100 db or not? In Audacity you can measure the level of the "signal". How big that signal is in relation to the "sound" depends on many factors, including microphone sensitiv...
