Audacity Forum

2.1.2 is the only version of Audacity I've used. I don't have earlier versions.

Just for clarity, as I have posted earlier, Add Track works fine for setting up timed recordings. Simply recording without pre-defined stop points or track lengths works fine too. At this point, I'm just trying to help trace an apparent problem with Timer Record in 2.1.2 by trying out various sugges...

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried MME, Windows Direct Sound and Windows WASAPI one after the other and Timer Record froze at 10 sec on all of them. I added Audacity to Norton's Firewall's Program Control with Allow properties, and still got the same behaviour from Timer Record. I re-booted the com...

I did try the internal mic (I think that's what you mean as a different audio host) when Timer Record stopped, and Timer Record also stopped after 10 sec of recording from the internal mic. There have been no other programs or apps updating during this time, although I can't tell what the internal W...

Well, Timer Record worked properly for several days, then it didn't - stopping at 10 sec. Switching from the USB interface to the internal mic produced the same result. I thought at first that this might be related to the fact that the laptop had been awoken from standby, rather than booted from pow...

Sorry, I missed your last posting with the question. I've just tried that with internal mic input, and Timer Record continued past the 10 sec point. But (and I told you this was intermittent earlier on), so did Timer Record when it was recording from the USB Phono Plus ADC. I will now start using Ti...

Tried 4000 as suggested, with software play through off, and it stuck at 10 sec. So no luck.

It stops properly after 5 sec. Also after 7 sec. Then it froze at 10 sec.

Thanks, Gale. The method in the link you posted, ie. using the Add Track function with a segment of the appropriate length, worked fine. I tried the Timer Record method immediately after that, checking to see that the timer windows were tracking the system clock properly and ensuring that today's da...

Yes, I'd do use the Timer Record for convenience. You refer to the "spinner controls that set the recording times". Do you mean the small windows in the Timer Record window in which you "dial up" the start time and duration? Please clarify. Thanks for the response.
