Random silence?

Post by Henrikon » Fri Oct 03, 2008 4:10 pm

I have used Audacity for a few months and I am pretty much happy with it. How ever, on a few occasions, most recently today, I have experienced "apparent silence", a 15-20 seconds long silence (the entire pieces have mostly been much longer). When i have a visual overview over the whole piece it looks fine, but when I zoom for a close up all audio curves disappear,and of course there is no sound where there should be. Unfortunatly I havent been able to reproduce this but I am thankful for every pointer I can get to have this sorted out.
Thanks!

Henrik

Thanks! It looks like I have moved around the source files, thus causing these gaps.
Works fine now!
