I still suspect that there may be a very tiny block in the way - perhaps only a single sample, so you would need to zoom in as far as possible to see it.

You could select the first half of the project and export that as one file then select the other half and export it as a second file (File > Export Selection).
Alternatively use some other format such as Flac, AC3, Ogg, MP3 ....

Can you move the block in either direction, left or right?
Perhaps you will be able to cut and paste the block rather than sliding with the Time Shift tool. To select the block, double click on it.

Zoom in very close on the beginning of the block that won't move and check that there is not an additional very small block getting in the way.

I can not make the export of multi-channel wav file. What format are trying to export as? The maximum file size for a WAV file is 4 GB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Limitations). 6 tracks at 48 kHz sampling rate, 16 bits per sample for 2 hours and 43 minutes will be a little over 5 GB, so too b...

There should be no distortion added by Flac encoding. You say " Playing this file over SONOS sounds fine", so I think we can assume that there is no problem with the file. You have not said what operating system you are using, but I'd guess that you have the playback level set too high som...

The holy grail for this application would be to mark each minimum length of sound between some minimum length of silence as a phrase, and append silence of the same length as that phrase. This would double the length of any recording. Then you could listen to and repeat each naturally occurring phr...

I thought that too, but doing a quick count it looks like around 150 characters and Windows should be OK up to 256 characters.

Do we have results on the drive tests yet?

If I open Audacity, click the Record button and play something from Windows Media Player or any other facility like Youtube it records directly. While I can see advantages in that, what does this now say about my setting? Either you are not using headphones so the microphone is picking up sound fro...

I've been using Audacity with Pulse ever since Pulse became the default on Ubuntu (though I no longer use Ubuntu) and I've not found latency or scratchy playback to be problems. Yes it does add a bit of extra latency (about 70 ms here) but adjusting the latency correction pulls it back to be synchro...
