Consolidating fragments from several files

Post by Morley Chalmers » Sat Aug 30, 2014 7:32 pm

How do I consolidate short fragments from several different large AUP files into one? While I have two small fragments available now, the rest will arrive later. Which suggests archiving these fragments for later consolidation. I'd like to avoid consolidating all the associated Data folders into a giant.

Step by step, what is the most efficient procedure?

Appreciated.

Sorry you will need to write more words to describe what your issue is.

What are the fragments you have now (file name and extension) and where are the rest arriving from?

If you are trying to open the AU files in the _data folder for the project, please don't. Just open the AUP file.

Nor can you combine projects together, except for cutting and pasting waveform selections in the separate project windows.

Perhaps before replying you may like to look at http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/au ... jects.html .
