This thread popped up in this Newbies “New Posts” list this lunchtime; If I am off-topic, please let me know and I’ll start a new thread.
I am producing a series of “chapters” of audio from hard copy text. I set up a new (Win10) folder for each chapter, as in MD 082, MD 083, MD 084 under the parent folder of the book. I record my WAV files page by page in the appropriate folder.
I was delighted to find yesterday (thanks Steve!) that the exported track from a macro drops into a folder “macro-output” within my chapter folder, that is:- “L:\BachAlbertSchweitzer\096\macro-output”
I had mistakenly thought in Edit, Preferences, Directories, that the path “Macro Output” would be a local folder for macros that I created while editing macros in Audacity.
I had already learned that the macros are stored in text form in my “C:\Users\Chris075\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\Macros”
At some time, might the “Edit, Preferences, Directories, Macro Output” be relabeled in such a way to indicate that the directory is an address for where “files exported from macros” will be found, rather than the possible mis-interpretation of “the place where your newly constructed macros” will be found?
I add that I like the current situation, because I PKZip the local folder as an archiving method, so my original WAV files, the Aup3 project file, and now my concatenated file(s) are all living under the same roof, and are ZIPped into the one file. :clapping:
Thanks
