I would appreciate any help re the following:
(Using Audacity 2…exe.installer, Windows 2007)
The problem:
Saving one Audacity Project file (2.4MB, about 14 minutes duration, 32 'channels to it, 16 bit, 8,000hz) to .WAV.
When I re-open .WAV file (within Audacity), only 1 or 2 of the channels seem to have been saved.
Also, when I by-pass Audacity and try to play via Windows Media, it refuses to open.
I had the same problem with version 1.3.
Saving one Audacity Project file (2.4MB, about 14 minutes duration, 32 'channels to it, 16 bit, 8,000hz) to .WAV.
I don’t think you can Export a standard WAV for that. You have to use Other Uncompressed Formats - WAV and do it that way. Standard WAV Export will insist on rendering to Stereo. That’s a setting in Preferences.
I’m not shocked Windows Media couldn’t figure it out. Do you have a 32-channel sound card and all the system drivers needed? If not, Windows Media will have no idea what to do.
