Having successfully recorded an LP (in 44.1/32bit float) I can't successfully export all of the tracks to any format (WAV, flac, etc.,...).
The export process appears to work fine and the exported tracks appear in the designated folder, but when I attempt to play them they are either completely silent or drop to silence after a few seconds.
The silent tracks tend to be small (eg 56k).
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Ben
Exported tracks are completely or mostly silent

Re: Exported tracks are completely or mostly silent
While the shows were recording in Audacity, did they look more or less like this? Did the red sound meters bounce and did you have broad, rumply blue displays on the timeline?

Similarly, if you open up your shows in Audacity and play them, do they look like this the whole way through...

You may not have gotten a good recording. You have all the symptoms of a Windows system that is set wrong for live recordings.
Let us know.
