Hello, I am running 2.4.2 on a MAC (Mojave). Trying to export 7 tracks into separate MP3s, usually this happens without any issue and I get multiple tracks identified by label name. Now I’m getting 2 tracks with no name. One track is silent, the other is the entire recording (all 7 tracks) but identified only as Track 2, not any of the names I used. I tried updating the software (initially I was running an older version), and deleting the labels and re adding them. I don’t think I’m doing anything differently than the previous times I’ve done this, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
You can Export Multiple based on labels
OR
You can Export Multiple based on tracks
You cannot Export Multiple based on tracks AND labels.
See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_multiple.html
My apologies, I wasn’t clear in my explanation. Typically I break up a recording of 20-30 minutes into sections that I label by name. This allows me to organize the sections, put music in between them, etc. I export by labels and get 5-7 different MP3s , each with the individual label name. This time though, despite trying to export by label name I’m not getting the 7 different MP3s, I’m getting 2. One that is just the entire recording in one big MP3, the other which appears to be an MP3 of just silence. None of the 7 names I chose as labels is exporting, and the recording hasn’t been broken up at all.
I’m hoping that makes a bit more sense.
Never mind, I see where the issue was, somehow the field next to labels hadn’t been clicked and it was in fact just exporting the entire track. Thanks, apologies for the confusion on my part.
