Audacity Forum

You've posted the .aup file. That can't be played without the "drum sample_data" folder (see here for why: http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/help/manual/man/audacity_projects.html ) The best way to post an audio sample is to select about 5 seconds of the recording, then from the File m...
