problem with the envelopes

Post by pscn » Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:20 pm

Hi,
I have the follow problem: once edited a file using the envelope tool and quitted Audacity, when I open the project again the track is still there, but empty: no waveform at all. Anyone knowing why? I am using a Powerbook G4, OS Tiger 10.4.9, 2GB of RAm.
thanks

Did you save the project after you used the tool? The blue waveforms and the actual show are different. Is the show still there--does it play anyway?

Yes, of course I saved the project. The empty track doesn't play anything.

Is the Audacity project data folder still intact?

This is usually a symptom of either:
A computer crash - Audacity closed before all the data was saved.
or
Some of the data files have been moves, changed, or deleted.

In this case, it doesn't sound like either of these scenarios apply.
Is the problem repeatable, or just a one off?
If repeatable, what are the steps required to make this happen?
