So lets say one has a project with 8 stereo tracks with no dependencies, and then closes the project. Are we saying that if nothing else is changed at all except all tracks have been made stereo to mono, then close the project, that the mono tracks project data folder should be around half the size...

I expect TR. will have to forget about the Automatic Recovery, copy the temporary data to an external drive and try http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/recovering_crashes_manually.html . Running out of disk space is likely to be fatal for the project. (the next version of Audacity, due for release so...

More detailed answer, given I had already written it before seeing Steve's reply. When I save a project with 8 stereo tracks at around 9 min long the date folder is 200MB.

I believe the problem is not AUDACITY but some bug within my system. You should definitely reinstall Audacity with reset preferences, and do the error checking I suggested.

I recently bought an iRig microphone for my guitar, but it hasn't been working perfectly with audacity. It only records when I have Software Playthrough unchecked, and I can only listen to what I recorded when I have Software Playthrough unchecked. Otherwise, I get a message that says "error w...

I made the same mistake, but I did export and save the first voice recording, actually an administrative hearing, then exported and saved the second one, recording over the first, so that the .wav file for the second hearing includes both. I need a "clean" copy of the second hearing and a...

I have successfully copied tapes to Audacity, but when I try to convert it to MP3 I get a message; 'Cannot open LAME'. I went to LAME and downloaded the latest version,but still can't access it. You need to download and install LAME as described here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_installa...

if i turn Sound Activated Recording off you can then hear me breathing and every slight toxic sound i make when moving my lips to talk LOL That is not Audacity's fault. Try moving the microphone boom farther away from your mouth. ;) I can count it as a "vote" on our Feature Requests syste...
