I was going crazy trying to reproduce this, until I set my project quality to 16 bit. If you open the project with Audacity set to 32 bit the bug does not occur.
I can confirm that the first export flat-lines at -1 after the first bad sample, and the subsequent exports are entirely flat-lined.
FWIW, in the first export both channels exhibit a spike even though the bad sample is in one channel.

Re: Flat lining when exporting from audacity project
I was looking through the MP3s that I thought I had produced successfully and the first set of bad albums started on 11/4/2010. I think that's when I switched from 1.2.x to 1.3.11...if that matters.
Re: Flat lining when exporting from audacity project
You would not see the problem in Audacity 1.2.x because even if "bad samples" existed in the project (which I think is quite likely), Audacity 1.2.x does not have the problem exporting those bad samples. The problem seems to be specific to Audacity 1.3.ccernst wrote:I was looking through the MP3s that I thought I had produced successfully and the first set of bad albums started on 11/4/2010.
