Audacity Forum

I mostly agree with you CharlieSummers. I would quibble about is the definition of "bug", but that's really immaterial. The important aspect is that the behaviour of Audacity in this respect catches people out because it is both unexpected and unhelpful and it should be "fixed". ...

How are you making these audio clips? Are you using Audacity or some other application? How did you make the original recording?
