Audacity Forum

Well right or wrong I got it.....after fighting the tag error for awhile I just simply deleted the line that was troubling me and then moved some files around and wizzbang I got the song back that I had been working on.. I would like to thank everybody for their input and help, couldnt have done it...

I am a little surprised it makes as many labels as that - is it making a "sound" out of every vowel? Apart from that, I wouldn't (with that algorithm) use "ignore", any more than I would with "crackly" audio. And I would have to live with hundreds of labels in the pre-c...
