The size of a normal WAV file depends on the number of channels (usually mono or stereo), the sample format (how many bits per sample), and the sample rate (how many samples per second). Size in bytes = <number of channels> x <sample rate> x <bits per sample> / 8 (8 bits = 1 byte) Just to clarify, ...

Maybe export in a different format perhaps? If you can't split the recording and you want a lossless format you can export as FLAC or RF64 (choose "Other uncompressed files" then look in the "Header" box). RF64 can go over 4 GB. FLAC will only be about 2 GB and does not have a s...

I used the area from 14.9 to 15.36 as the Noise Reduction Profile (Noise Reduction first pass). Then I applied reduction to the whole clip at 18, 6, 3. If I go much more than that, the voice is going to start turning to bad, bubbly cellphone voice. The clips have an unusual noise problem. If you car...

Hi, here is 18 seconds. All help is much appreciated. Thank you, SusanMarie

I think you can Emergency Rescue this file with Audacity Import Raw. Instead of depending on the file's own header to tell the world what happened (see: irrational, crazy) you tell it explicitly where everything is. Obviously, this is not recommended for general distribution. Oddly, this is a sister...

Include more.

In mono (one blue wave), you can go as far as 20 seconds before the forum will stop you. Try to include a portion of the speech with a gap or pause.

If you can't decipher the speech enough to find the pauses, that's the end of the story. We're done.

Hi there,
Please help me figure out how to clean these old mid 20th C. academic lectures up. Please, please, please.

4.3GB. The file tried to go over 4, which it can't do. The file is now unstable, irrational or crazy. That's what you have in English.

Can you split the show in two? They would fit.

Thanks Koz, Sorry, i am running Audacity 2.1.2. The previous version i also tried was Audacity 1.3.11 Export - WAV (microsoft) signed 16 bit (have always used this) I understand your second point, the 34 minute exported file is showing 4.6 gb which is massive and does not seem accurate. All recordin...
