ACX doesn't like "Radio Theater." No organ music, orchestra background, bands, or other effects, or theatrical sounds. That "rule" does not appear to be cast in stone (and there are many other audiobook publishers - ACX / Amazon are just the biggest), but as you say, music compl...

Killing processes probably isn't the best approach to get something working though. True, but can be useful for testing.

i have 2 project recording by audacity

What is the full name of each project, including the full directory path?

If you find that you need multiple Audacity windows open at the same time, ...
