Press "Enter" on your keyboard.

If the effect fails (because the selection is too long), don't you want to know that? Example: If you are trying to fix a subtle click, the click may be audible but not visible in the waveform. So if you inadvertently made the selection a bit too long for the Repair effect, how would you know that t...

1. Audio Quality From everything I’ve read, the sound (and recording) quality is likely to be superior when using external devices due to elimination of interference from computer components and probably better quality of external DACs. In the case of capturing a digital audio stream, that is not c...

what also doesn't make sense is that I have had audio files in WAV format bigger than 4 GB and they had the full length of the audio recording. Perhaps they are not standard "Microsoft PCM WAV". Could they perhaps be some other format (such as RF64 ) with a "WAV" file extension?...

If exporting as WAV worked correctly, the files must have been short enough to be less than 4 GB. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Limitations)

The maximum size that a normal WAV file can be is 4GB.
Sample rates over 100000 Hz are excessive for audio and more prone to intermodulation distortion than more reasonable sample rates.

I don't think we want to get involved in spying activities, and please be aware that recording people without their knowledge or consent is illegal in many countries. Regarding the technical aspects of synchronising long tracks: Be aware that Audacity works with uncompressed 32-bit audio, so working...

Why do you need to use Audacity? Why not just load the MP3s directly into Nero?

Noise reduction is a balancing act between reducing the unwanted noise and not doing too much damage to the sound that you w...
