Windows 7, Audacity Audacity 2.3.0, How do I merge audio tracks?

Post by watermusiccooler » Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:31 am

Sometimes when I make a new track and hit record with multiple tracks, it gives a really weird error about them not matching up and I have to close and relaunch to do anything.

Also, is it possible to collapse multiple tracks together?

You can mix multiple tracks together to make them into one track. See: "Mix and Render" on this page: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tra ... u_mix.html
Once the tracks are mixed, you can't "explode" the mixed track back into the original multiple tracks.

I'll screenshot the error if it happens again, these are my settings though. https://i.imgur.com/fwDBxoP.png


It is a different error than the one you've linked me to.
