jedusorYesterday I decided I wanted to learn how to make a mashup. So I downloaded Audacity and found copies of "Dig It" from Holes and "Diggah Tunnah" from The Lion King 1 1/2, and I spent a few hours googling tutorials and screwing around with Audacity to figure out how it works, and I spent a few more hours sampling and experimenting and generally having a good time. And I just finished a rough cut, and the program was acting kind of weird, taking a long time when I told it to play, so I saved it and restarted the application.
Now it's giving me an error message saying it can't open my file because it doesn't exist. There's just shading in the segments where the music was. The only version it will open is the mp3 I exported of the first few seconds to make sure exporting would work. I saved and opened the file several times before, so I don't know what's wrong. I really don't want to lose all that work. Obviously it wasn't good, because I've never done this before and I didn't have individual tracks to work with, but I spent a lot of time on it and I want it back. Anyone know what might have happened?
