Audacity Forum

My one demurral over the "files do not disappear" issue is that the ONLY place they disappear from is audacity. I have not had ANYTHING else go missing - word files, pdfs, music, etc. Audacity just seems to periodically dump chunks of my sound. I will still give your suggestion a go, maybe tonight. ...

>This has got to be a Windows machine, right? Yup. I've done a virus/spyware check fairly recently. I'll do it again. >What happens if you do a disk check from the Disk > Properties menu? Check everything. I'm not comfortable telling you to defrag until the machine passes the first two tests. I've d...

I understand about not moving the sound files - there have been time when I have moved pieces and found that screwed things up, but that can't account for every instance here - since I've learned generally not to do that.

I am on my fourth and fifth plays, so I have learned a lot about how the program works and what I have been doing wrong. Now, however, a new problem has arisen. In v1.2.6: Sound just vanishes. S...

Not happeneing for everything, just a couple of tracks where I cut sounds from a prior track and pasted them into a new one, ...

I will take a look - Thanx much!

Thanx - I will be MUCH more careful with echoes in the future. This one is okay, since once I added the music and submarine noises, the echo was only occasionally noticeable, and actually sounds really cool...

I am recording audio books, so I have many different, but connected, files - one for each chapter. Is there any way to set a baseline volume so that I can easily conform each chapter to it? As it stands, sometimes I come up with one chapter at one volume and the next much louder or quieter - not bec...
