Suggested Evaluation:

Saving an Audacity project is a fundamental task and done frequently. Instructors may choose to simply observe learners complete this simple task as the evaluation method.

Procedure:

Saving an Audacity project is very easy, but first you will need to create an Audacity project. All you need to do is go to the FILE menu of Audacity and select NEW.

Once you have begun working on your project you will need to save it. Go to the FILE menu and choose SAVE PROJECT.

Saving a project will create two items: an .AUP file and a data folder. NOTE: You must never separate the data folder from the .AUP file. If you separate these items you will not be able to open your Audacity project. If you need to move these items to a new folder be sure to close Audacity first then move both items to the same exact location.
