After I have recorded a track on Audacity 1.3, I Save As (filename).aup, as .aup is the only choice that is given.

However, when I try to open that file, it acts like it is opening , and the file name appears at the top of the interface , but there is no audio track image and all the controls are grayed-out as if there is nothing there.

Help????

Audacity doesn't save sound files. It saves Projects. To get a stand-alone sound file, use Export As WAV or Export As MP3.

Try opening Audacity first then File > Open the AUP file.

If you cleaned up or deleted any files after you saved the AUP, then there may be any show there to open. AUP isn't a sound file. It's a computer program that points to other sound files and clips.
