![]() When you have finished with a long file and you have exported what you want as a WAV or MP3 or other file, then you need to do File > Close to free up the temporary space. If you do 12 edits on that file that is one quarter of your 57 GB used. Importing an hour of stereo audio takes 1.2 GB of space by default. ![]() ![]() I don’t understand why, even on the original disck there is 57 giga of space, Audacity still “feel” that wrong big file… After that each file I import has the same problem wiith all MP3 files! I tried to change the direcotory like you have suggest to me, creating it on an external disck and…now all is ok! If Audacity says the temporary directory is C:DOCUME~1ABRI~1LOCALS~1Tempaudacity_1_2_temp or similar with “~1” in the path to the temporary folder, you should definitely choose another folder, or create a new one just for the Audacity temporary directory.įor the first time, I imported a big Mp3 file (about 1 our of music) to divide pieces of music and the file had the problem. If you think you have enough disk space, click the “Choose…” (Scegli…) button in Directories Preferences and select another directory to use as your Audacity Temporary Directory. Including editing, you should allow at least 300 MB of space for a three-minute MP3, 3 GB for an MP3 lasting 30 minutes, and so on. I suggest you choose Edit > Preferences (CTRL + P) in Audacity then choose “Directories” (“Cartelle” in Italian) on the left. This may not be a problem if you read the WAV files directly from the file when you import them, because this will only take a few kb of temporary space. Audacity will decompress the entire MP3 file to lossless PCM which will take a lot of disk space. ![]() You may have a problem with disk space or Audacity cannot read its temporary directory correctly. I believe Audacity uses the Windows-supplied MP3 decoder.
