Projects only open when the .AUP file and the _DATA folder are in the same place like on your desktop or some other folder. If they're separated for some reason, different folders, the show complains and will not open. It is a little worrisome that the AUP project manager file wouldn't open without...

I recorded half of a song yesterday and im keen to finish it today, however , when i double click it to open it it says : Unable to open project file. If i go to open in audacity it says : Couldnt find rhe project data folder, could not load file. What on earth is going on, its right there, its save...

There was no recording at all when i used the RCA's and the instructions clearly state that the RCA's are for a output to your stereo and not for recording. I tried doing what was posted previously about duplicating mono tracks etc. But no matter what happens it will always come out of both speakers...

That should tell...

It appears that Vista sets the input from USB devices to mono by default, and you may have to go into the Control Panel to change it to stereo....

<<<so i think ok, ill record in mono, duplicate it and select one to go on left channel and one on right channel, this doesnt work either.>>> Menus on the left > Split Stereo Track > Select the Left music > Copy > Select Right Track > Home the cursor > Paste > Make Stereo Track. That didn't work? K...

Ive NEVER had a problem with recording with my mic til a few months ago. If you're recording from a single mic, that's a mono source, and the mic jack on your computer is a mono input. If you set Audacity to record in mono, then when you play back, the music will play back equally through both spea...

If that doesn't solve the problem, we will need a bit more info on your system:
