Dear all,

May be I'm doing something wrong.

I have a two-track 2 min project. I saved it and not only it took 
several minutes but it createed a 6 Gb file.

Previously, I had loaded a 1.5 Gb wav file (2.5 hours long) and had been 
working for a while with it. The process I performed was to resample 
from 44.1 kHz to 22.05 Hz, convert from stereo to mono and export the 
audio to flac. Then I deleted the track and started with a completely 
new, single empty track, without closing the earlier project.

While working, the original file name kept showing at the top bar. When 
I was done with the second project, I "saved as" it to a new name and 
directory, and I got the 6 Gb file.

The expected behavior would have been to save into the new project the 
current status of the audio, i.e., a two-track, two-minute signal... 
unless all the garbage and undo history is also saved to the project...

But what is more perplexing is that then I tried to save it again 
without changing the original name (which by the way never changed, as 
it happens with other programs when one saves a file with a different 
name) and then bingo! I got a much more reasonable 22 Mb file.

Then I exited Audacity and the 6 Gb shrinked down to 22 Mb! Pity that I 
didn't copy it prior to exiting!

Regards,

Federico
