how to seperate one large track in to seperate tracks?

BUT you've still got multiple labels at each label point - in fact you have two separate label tracks which may also be confusing Audacity.

Now that you have your properly labelled track under the music track - just delete the label track with the multiple labels that is above the music track. Do this by clicking in the little X at the top left hand corner of the label track. THEN try the Export Multiple again.

If for some strange reason you want to keep the old multi-label label track (and if you do please explain, as I am curious) - then after you've done the Export just do an Undo to restore the previously deleted track ) but dont' close the project before you do this.

so, waxy, you're saying that the lable track on top is confusing audacity.. but when i was mixing these songs, i used the beat matcher(to make the transitions between songs smoother), and that's when the label track popped up on top with all the 'B's' in it. so if i deleted this track, wouldn't i also be deleting all the beat transitions?

thanks thanks!!

It doesn't matter now, you don't need that label track. You've done all the beat mixing and the result is fixed in stone (as it were) in that one track. You lose nothing by deleting that top label track. There is no music in that track, just labels. Get rid of it and try Export Multiple one more time ...

Note that the manual says this about Beat Finder: "Beat Finder attempts to place labels at beats which are much louder than the surrounding audio. It's a fairly rough and ready tool, and won't necessarily work well on a typical modern pop music."

"Ringtone maker"? As in making ringtones for cell phones? Never heard of such a thing.

Glad we got you working at last

Ringtones??? - my mobile was last used by Noah on the Ark so doesn't have such fancy stuff.

But it is posiible to make ringtoones - though many posters on the forum seem to struggle doing so, The Wiki has an article on it: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... _Ringtones

oh nvm i found a better ringtone editor, thanks!

but another little problem..

i'm making a new mix now, but when i'm trying to use the timshift tool to move each song, it's moving the whole page, instead of just the song itself.

and what's weird is that the timeshift tool was working just fine to move the first couple songs, but now it won't move any songs. hmph.

If you also have a label track, then yes, that sounds very likely. The Link Tracks button links tracks to the label track.

You don't want to create the label track until you are finished moving each track to get the crossfade you want, then doing a Mix and Render. Once you have one stereo track with your mix in it, then make the label track.

If you have a label track under several tracks and the link tracks buttons is pressed then, yes, all the clips on all the tracks will move together. This is a feature.
