Audacity Project Sharing

Hello everyone,

Although Audacity is a pretty simple way to record and edit sound, there are some troubles with sending it to friends/group members via email or just using the .aup on another computer. If you don't do it right you may be sending someone a blank Audacity project! So here are some tips for flawless Audacity project sharing:
  • For using the .aup on another computer, you have to also include the _data folder that has the same name as the project. (this _data folder has the .au uncompressed audio data files)
  • If the project has imported WAV or AIFF files, you have to go to File > Check Dependencies and copy those files to the project BEFORE using the project on another computer
  • If you can't send your project because of the size, you can export your project as an MP3 to make it a smaller file, by going to File > Export, a pop up window should come up asking the name of the file and where you want to save it and there will be a drop down menu allowing you to choose to export it as an MP3
Happy recording!
