Hello everyone,

I have a problem uploading my wave file.
Track Problems

The following track(s) have errors:

SOFIA.wav:
Bit depth is 32 bits, must be 16 or 24 bits.
Audio channel count is 1, must be 2 (Stereo)
Can any of you help me solve this?
Thanks in advance.
With kind greetings.

When you export (save) there is a drop-down menu where you can select the bit depth ...

"WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM" is universally accepted.

If you need to make a mono recording into 2-channel, (a/k/a dual mono).
Duplicate the track, (select the track, then press "Ctrl"+"D").
Then join those two identical tracks to make a "stereo" pair, see ...

Thank you kindly for your help. When I play my song Sofia.wave 16 bit(705 kbps) in audacity, the green levels of both recording channels move. This indicates that a stereo song is playing.
But when I upload my music file Sofia.wave to the music platform Amuse, I get the following message:Track Problems The following track(s) have errors:
SOFIA.wav:Audio channel count is 1, must be 2 (Stereo).

What's going on here? Is this an error of the music platform Amuse or is it a mistake in my song?
See the attachments.
Please advise you on this.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Gilberto

Meanwhile, I followed your guidelines and after duplicating and " making a stereo track " has managed to upload my song on the Music platform Amuse.
A million thanks for your help, I am very pleased with the result through your cooperation.
Best regards,
Gilberto :D
