There is a chance you are running out of space on the hard drive. I had assumed not, since Gerard had said The chain works fine if I select 1,000 files or less. But, if I were to select 2,000 files, it would only process about 60-70 and then stop What size are the files you are processing? Since Ch...

Hi Bob Are you still recording with the PreSonus Audiobox or something else? Does this also happen when recording with the inbuilt sound device, or with Presonus disconnected?

I use v2.0.2 and, when assembling a soundtrack, regularly do File > Save Project. Audacity always overwrites what was previously t...

I was trying to adjust the start and end and now the wave is gone. If I hit Play nothing happens. Is the blue waveform on the screen? How do I get that wave back so I can listen to the recording?
