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"
