HELP PLEASE!

Paul182	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 5:33 AM yesterday i spent over 4 hours recording an acoustic version of the foo fighters song aint it the life. i had just the last chord to strum and my computer started going really slow so i rushed to save it. the computer froze and it didnt fully save. it now says i can recover the files manually. i looked in the folder and it has all the tracks i recorded in seperate files but not in the 1 track. do i have to put all of them in the 1 file and rearrange it or is there an easier way to sort everything out?
Hatsy	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 6:28 AM Hi Paul, try Gary Tucker he may be able to help on this, look in the main community section underneath recent interaction, you should be able to pick his name up there, or mail me back. Good Luck.
pog	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 6:31 AM what software are you recording with ? If there are a bunch of wav files then you should be able to import them 1 at a time to a multitracker.... as seperate tracks. I just hope that you started them all at the 0:00 point, or it may be a nightmare to line them all up.
Paul182	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 10:08 AM im recording with audacity. and no i didnt start them all at 0.00 so il have to line them all up. i think it would be easier to just start again. thanks anyway

Have you defragmented your drive lately? Have you scanned for viruses? Do you have any programs that are scheduled to run at a particular time? It's a good idea to turn off all scheduled tasks before tracking. Take a look at some of the suggestions at tweakxp.com . Not all of it applies to audacity but they're generally good measures to prevent problems. YOu could also dounload dskbench to see how your drives performance is.
