If this has happened multiple times, maybe you should not be saving a Project. Export As WAV to get a simple, stand-alone sound file that you can manage just like all other files. The _data folder with all the fragments in it is the actual show in highly fragmented form. The aup file pulls it all to...

Built-in microphone amplifiers almost never sound very good because of the close proximity to the noisy electronics inside the computer. I know, when I bought new "monster" graphics card I could no longer stand listening to anything on headphones from the computer... It would sound like i...

This is drifting way off topic as the question from jahoh was answered accurately and succinctly in the very first reply (thanks Trebor). DC offset is likely to produce a click when the track starts playing and when it stops playing. It can cause additional clicks if it is edited with audio that doe...

Thanks for the reply. I'm running Windows 7, there is no tools tab in 'computer'. A search turns up nothing. How do I send a file to the desktop from Audacity?
