DB Audio Mixer & Editor creates temporary files in the user's harddrive after an operation is performed. Saving a temporary file is not done instantly. The time taken depends on the size of the current file. So some large files may cause low memory conditions that could slow down your computer. To improve your computer's performance, you can set the Undo/Redo Count value to 0, but in doing so, you can only reverse or restore the last action.

The files are in Uncompressed PCM format (WAV) format. You can change the file extension from .tmp to .wav and play it using any audio player.The first temporary file is created after the New or Open operation is performed.
