Audacity Forum

I have created some very powerful sounds by recording myself playing guitar then messing around with delay and stuff. The project plays in audacity, but when I try to export my project into any format and play it again, all I get is a click in the beginning and a click at the end. Basically just imagine long solid blocks of sound that are all +/- 1 amplitude.

What is going on? I have been able to export audio just fine in the past... Is there something I must do to reduce the power but which can still keep the audio the same?

Try this:
Set the Project Rate to 44100 (lower left corner of main Audacity Window)
Then from the File menu select "Export"
Set the File Format to "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 bit PCM"
Give the file a unique name using only letters and numbers.

I am having the same problem. File playsback fine in Audacity but when I try and export the file just gives a "click" then nothing at all. Any idea why this is happening?

You will need to give a lot more information.
Are you Exporting them as "16 bit (Microsoft) PCM WAV" files?
What program are you trying to play them back with, and if you open a similar file that was not created by Audacity does it play correctly?
What sort of sound card are you using?
How did the files get into Audacity - did you record them yourself? If so - how?
