how is this possible...
i have 2 recordings from the same night
both are 24/48
one is "complete" and 3.05gb
one is "broken (2gb file split) 2.15gb and 915.1mb
when i combine the "broken" files and save it as one file the total size is 2.04gb
i am not changing the sample rate or anything in audacity
if i open the saved file which is now complete it says it is 24/48 still but the size is much smaller
EDIT - upon dithering and resample BOTH seem correct 1.87 and 1.88gb
so i am not sure why the file size is dropping on the "broken" file but all seems fine in the end
Boy that is weird. Makes no sense to me whatever.
The wave file format has a 4GB limit, but some apps can be 2GB. This is a restriction of a 32 bit OS. 2^32 = 4,294,967,296
I'm up against the same problem. Whatever you do, don't delete the originals before you determine if the combined file is complete.
