Re: .wav and Audacity
WAV files produced by digital recorders are not always PCM uncompressed WAV but may be some heavily size-compressed file inside a WAV container. If anyone has a related problem, try adding FFmpeg to your computer and choose "FFmpeg-compatible files" when you File > Open or File > Import the WAV into Audacity.barryspaeth wrote:I'm new to home recording.
