Audacity newbie having problems

Post by mrnstar2008 » Sun Nov 30, 2008 7:08 am

Hi.

I'm completely new to this and am trying to edit down a 45 min wav. So far, I've successfully imported it in Audacity and saved certain sections as uaps.

The problem is that now, when I open them up and hit "play", the meter toolbar doesn't work and although the "line" moves, I hear no volume. ???

What did I do and what do I do now?

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks for your help.

Audacity does not save sound files. Put the AUs and AUPs back where you found them.

To get a good, clear, stand-alone sound file, you need to Export As WAV, or Export Selection...As WAV.
