Exactly how are you recording the instrumental? With what equipment, connected where, and what input device are you choosing in Audacity?

The problem is that I can't separate the tracks. I can't figure out where the separate tracks are. When I select the file to export, the entire thing is copied again. It doesn't separate. They are literally on top of each other. As Koz said, use the Mute/Solo buttons to hear one track at a time. Th...

What happens when the project opens - is the entire audio silenced and orphaned? Are you sure you only recorded nine or 10 hours? Audacity cannot store more than 2^31 samples as a project, as noted in the Release Notes . At 48000 Hz this implies a maximum storage of just over 12 hours 20 minutes. 17...

Thanks for the report. Please give us some more information to go on (see the pink panel above). What version of Windows? What version of Audacity (all three numbers at Help > About Audacity)? Where are you changing between stereo and mono - in Device Toolbar ? What is your input device in Device To...

The Audacity output volume slider is supposed to control the master output slider for the output device selected in Device Toolbar . With Audacity closed, and no audio playing, please left-click the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose "Mixer". Choose the same output device you ha...

This is expected on Windows 7 because it disables all or most of the sound inputs.

So you cannot record until you enable the inputs in Windows "Sound".

Can you make it work? I think it's one of those combinations that just exports an empty file. I tried leaving bit rate empty, and 32 kbps.

G.726 is a later implementation of ADPCM and nothing to do with G.729 which is the heavily patented CS-ACELP . G.723 is an earlier 24/40 kbps ADPCM variant. Audacity does not directly support either, only the earlier G.721 32 kbps ADPCM (which doesn't require FFmpeg). Even if you install the FFmpeg ...

did the OP solve his issue following your advice? We are not in the habit of giving incorrect advice ;) 8 bit export is not an option with above (Audacity 2.03, snow leopard latest updates, even java working). (Recorded in mono, 44.1 16 bit pcm sampling, 8000 in project window bottom left corner, e...
