No sound after export to either MP3 or WAV
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 4:21 am
-- Running 1.3.13 on Window 7.
-- Recording vinyl on Ion USB turntable. When plugging the turntable in, Windows 7 found the device and installed it, and it shows up under recording devices as Microphone (USB Audio CODEC).
-- When recording, I can see movement in the input and output level meters, and I can hear playback through my computer speakers wth no issue. I also see the waveform as it's being created. The project was successfully Amplified to -1.0 dB, and I've been able to save the project and reopen it and get successful playback of the project through Audacity.
-- The .aup and data files are in the same location as when the project was first created. Nothing's been renamed or moved.
-- The issue occurs after export. After exporting as either a WAV or an MP3 file (even to the same directory where the project resides), there is no sound whatsoever upon playback of the exported file. The exported file is of the appropriate size, and the media player is seeing it as a file of the appropriate length (the song I am testing with is about 4:00 long). I can still open the project and get successful playback in Audacity, so I feel like the issue is with the export process - something I'm missing. I've had to turn the input levels way down upon recording because even at low input levels I was getting some clipping, but the project file has consistently clean playback at the appropriate levels in Audacity.
-- I've read and re-read the tutorials. I don't know what I've overlooked. Any help would be very appreciated.
