Re: [IRCA] Audacity...
With Audacity it is possible to create files much larger than just
WAV files if one saves the sessions being edited.
The last prompt before closing Audacity or a particular editing
operation is to save the session. If this option is taken a number
of very large files are saved, though likely never used again unless
an editing session is interrupted.
I always choose to not save the session files. Even editing WAV
files with Audacity -- which I do because those are what my RX320D
software creates -- is not a problem, but could be if I saved the
session files. Once editing is complete, I normally use Audacity to
convert and export the clip to an MP3 file for further sharing or other uses.

With respect:
Most WAV file recorders create a TEMP file equivalent to the
size of the WAV file while it's recording.
Most people have hard-drives in the dozens if not hundreds of gigabytes now...
So, it is a non-issue.
I could not possibly recommend Audacity open-source recording software more.
I used Audacity in the post-production phase during the recording of
my debut album "Island Standard Time"
