Export multiple not working for me

[dpenny]

I have recorded (from mic) 4-5 tracks. They appear in one horizontal line across screen.

All I want is to export each one separately into its own file. I have saved original as a proj.

1. Export multiple gives me only one file.
2. Export selected audio, on each track separately, 4/5 times, gives me identical length files, so I have not bothered to listen to them. I have checked the item in prefs (to omit silence, as I understand it).

How can something so simple be so difficult?
rave: U should really throw away the whole UI, but keep the core functionality. end rave. also, throw away the docs.

Export multiple gives me only one file.

So if you label each of your 4-5 tracks with Ctrl-B, then Export Multiple (by label) should work fine: Creating and Selecting Labels - Audacity Manual

I could not figure if CTRL-B put the label at beging of track. Lots of stuff in manual about “sections” and moving boundaries, nothing about “whole” tracks(that I could find)
So instead, 1st updated to 3.3. Then select one track by clicking just above waveform, then “export select audio.” This worked.

I guess “export multiple tracks” is BUGGED when all tracks are on same LINE (what dya call it?).

Glad to hear this is working for you.

I am unable to duplicate your issue here.
