Having trouble exporting

Post by celune » Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:41 pm

Hi everyone!

I have been using Audacity to record the audio for my Let's Plays for some time now with no issues. Yesterday, I went to export a 45 minute recording as a .wav file, which I have done many times beforehand, and noticed that Audacity only exported the first 10 minutes. I exported the file again and it only exported the first 15, then 20, and so on. Since yesterday, I have had this problem with every recording. I haven't messed with any settings or changed the way I record things, so I am very confused as to why this is occurring. I am selecting "export" and not "export selected audio", though I also tried selecting the whole track and exporting what was selected with no success. I have tried restarting both Audacity and my computer as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What is the full length of the project that you are trying to export?
Where are you trying to export it to? (what is the full file name including the full "path"?)
How much space is available in the location where you are trying to export it?

It would help if you would provide the requested information from the pink panel at the top of the page.

The current version of Audacity http://audacityteam.org/download/windows and recent versions should pop up a message if the complete WAV file could not be exported. Do you have the latest Audacity 2.1.0 and do you see that message? If there is not space to export the complete file, Audacity shortens it to fit the available space.
