Now I have managed to create a mp3 file - I find that there seems to be 'extra space' at the end. When I check properties it says length is 2:00:00 but when I play it on media player, there is another 4 minutes on the end which makes media player go berserk when I click on it on the flow bar.... ha...

I have now found - not a solution, but a workaround. My second track only had some sound at the beginning, and this was the export that wanted to take 40+ hours. Now maybe Audacity thinks that the space following the sound fragment was infinite or something, because I have added some more sound at ...

Obviously it has some flaw doing that.

There is no flaw, Audacity just doesn't do the maths for you (it's a feature request).

It has stereo line level inputs at the back, if the level from the guitar was high enough: http://adn.harmanpro.com/product_attach ... iginal.jpg

It appears syntactically valid, as far as I can see.

Does the folder "/Users/GlennDoom/Desktop/Freeze - recordings/16.04.21-Substation-Dusty-Alto_data" exist"? Can you open that folder in Finder?

A couple replies to your original reply: File > Save Project As... in Audacity is fine. If you were doing a long editing stint it's recommended to Save Project As periodically to give yourself incremental backups. So I had been saving it periodically—between every recording and after the fact, up u...

that what I want to do is recover the project. First I want ASR to stop locking me out and freezing up, and then I want my show file back, to divvy up the sets and get them to their respective bands. What is "ASR"? Automatic Crash Recovery? If you want the unsaved changes in the project b...

Well, thanks to DVDdoug I was able to lower the input volume by adjusting it via Windows/Sound. Although I have to use the Microphone input to record, and not the Line In Focusrite sound card option. Little confused as to why this is? You mean you reduced the ART input level? I don't know why you f...

the project does open but there is no recording. Any ideas? Do you mean that the track is there for the expected length, but a flat line? Were those errors you posted the only errors or are there errors about missing audio data block files or not being able to read files? If no errors then I assume...

wxWidgets-3.1 is out and very stable. Is that officially supported by Audacity? No, categorically it is not supported. Even if it works now, we may make some code change that breaks with wxWidgets 3.1.x. While it would be useful for us to know if that happens, if you don't want added trouble, build...
