Exporting error
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 9:44 pm
So I'm running on the latest update of Mac OSX.
Oftentimes when I'm exporting, a lot of the sound will instead by silence, and sometimes effects will be repeated and a few other difficult to explain oddities.
For example:
I just saved a file where I added a fade in to the beginning, and when I exported it as a wav, it kept repeating the section that was faded in, with another fade added on top of the previous for as long as the file was supposed to be.
Another one I saved with a fade at the beginning and there was simply silence in place of what was supposed to have faded in. The rest was fine.
Another one, I wanted to lengthen a crowd sound effect and so I simply added a second stereo track, copypasted the original towards the end of the first, and exported them together to double the length. When I opened up the subsequent wav, all was silence.
I've found workarounds (using the Envelope in lieu of the Fade In command fir the first example, I'm not even sure how I get it to work for the third example). But I've also found the same thing when I executed the same commands to the same original file in Audacity on Windows Vista.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I'm baffled.
