saving tracks

Post by JC3 » Tue Sep 20, 2016 8:42 pm

Hi, I made a 3 part harmony for a song all on separate tracks and I want to save them (as individual tracks) before I render and mix. I tried this and some how lost the tracks. I labeled them pre mix trks but was unable to find them, i only found the mixed trk. any hints? cheers

If you saved an Audacity Project, then it should be possible to open the Project and all the individual tracks should pop back up. That's its job.

Alternately, you can select each track one at a time by clicking above MUTE and File > Export Selected.

If you exported a sound file without selecting anything, Audacity would have mixed all the tracks down to one show. I believe it even warns you it's going to do that.

So what did you do?
