    Default Tascam 8 track exporting problems

    So me and my guitarist were shopping some our songs before we go actually record them in a studio, we recorded on a Tascam 8 track, and tried exporting the songs, but they wont play, ill drag them into audacity, but it just ends being an empty track, also tried playing them on wmp and itunes..but nothing. They export as .wav files, and the size of them vary from 15mbs to 25 mbs, just depending on my takes. but yea, i dont understand why they arent playing, or why theyre showing up as empty tracks, any suggestions? thanks ahead of time!

    i= input
    o= output

    Assigning the input of the preamp to the channel you want to record and then assigning the output of the channel to the device you want ( i.e. monitors on output 1-2, or output bus on channel 10, or output to hardware insert on channel 5. These would be examples.

    check and see if there 16 or 24 bit .wav files. They should play regardless on winamp and windows media. are you mac or pc. ??
