I have been working on a project for a while and now when opening it up there is absolutely no sound. All the clips are split and overlapped in the right places but its all just one long blue line
When trying to download another audacity file from google drive which i can confirm works perfectly fine everywhere else, the same thing happens and there is no waves
Pls help!

Hmmm I might have expected that with early 2.2.x versions (where we had a nasty bug with Save As) - but not with 2.3.x, so I'm puzzledRandomoniom wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 4:05 pm2.3.3 version

Google Drive seems to be the common denominator. Maybe don't save projects there.Randomoniom wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 3:17 pmWhen trying to download another audacity file from google drive which i can confirm works perfectly fine everywhere else, the same thing happens and there is no waves
Also, are you keeping the AUP file and the _data folder together as is required for an Audacity project to work?

I am saving the folder and AUP file together.
Its very weird since it happened to past projects i had already worked on and had not moved from where they were on my computer. Suddenly there is no audio yet all the clips are cut up as they were

Re: Blue waves not showing when opening my project
