then to c:\MUSIC Audacity; now as we speak i saved it to c:\Audacity You really shouldn't be writing data to the root file system. User data should go into your "user space" (directories below C:\Users\ <your user name> \ ) A good place to put Audacity projects would be: C:\Users\ <your u...

Calm down StrongBond. The 200 point limit is already logged on the Audacity issue tracker - I logged it at the beginning of February when I first encountered it. None of the developers have picked it up yet. In my bug report I suggested that: 200 points does not seem very generous, perhaps that coul...

I have 2000 frequency values and 2000 levels in the curve.

That sounds like a huge amount of overkill. Why do you need so many?

I saved it on C:/MUSIC Audacity

my cassette to mp3 device has vanished

Let me guess - one of these?

Do you have the receipt? Is it still under warrantee?

I don't have a recording device, or any other analog audio input. That'll be the problem. Audacity requires an input device (it's an audio recorder after all). It's highly unusual for a PC to not have any recording device at all. Why doesn't your computer have one? Have you disabled the built-in so...

For consistency you may be best to make one long recording of multiple phrases, process the recording as one, then split the recording into individual MP3s (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spl ... racks.html)

My suggestion is to not write silent audio to disk

Why are you recording silence?

Currently, Audacity will record the WASAPI stream exactly as it is, without modification. This is one of the main reasons for using WASAPI. To do what you are suggesting, Audacity would have to generate samples if the WASAPI stream does not provide them - Audacity would no longer be recording the WA...
