Re: 2.2.2 often unresponsive

Since none of these symptoms seem to make sense, you may have inadvertently created two events at once. When you upgraded to 2.2.2, what did you come from? If you came from a much earlier Audacity, you and the computer may be accustomed to a much smaller program with fewer tools and services. Some o...

Re: Records for a few minutes then freezes

game capture software from Elgato. I think they made the original program that runs my off-air television software. It's just like cable; I have a pile of shows I'm never going to watch. The difference is I don't have a monthly bill. After closing the the game capture program Audacity doesn't conti...

Re: Questions From New Narrator

I read them because HE was the narrator. We had one of those. I think he was a graphic artist supervisor, but he could present like nobody's business. "Bill's going to read the Culver City phone book!!" Followed by a rustle as half the building struggled to get there soon enough so they d...

Re: Questions From New Narrator

I've never seen anything on ACX that allows you to do that anymore. Well, shucks. I can understand why they stopped if they did. Some Paid Person has to sit there and evaluate your work. That Person is Human Quality Control and they are very busy indeed. I know this is dangerous, but we are tempted...

Re: Records for a few minutes then freezes

Have you ever hard shut down your machine? Shift-Shutdown instead of regular Shutdown? Do that once and don't let anything else start. My fuzzy right-brain is saying things like Audacity has stopped pushing work off to the cache system and when it fills up memory, it just dies. Audacity > Edit > Pre...

Re: Records for a few minutes then freezes

the other program overwhelming it Not the other progrm, an other program. What else is running? If you stop the game or game system, does Audacity record and keep going? What do you do to recover? Do you have to close Audacity? Has this ever worked? Koz

Re: Suggestions for soundproofing and background elemination

One of Koz's AudioBook Mastering posts has SetRMS, not RMS-Normalize. That's even older. There may be other corrections—or just delete some of these orphans. I thought of a different way to do this RMS Normalize thing. What's the hero file size? Right this second, however, Koz is moving kozco.com to...

Re: Installing Skype (possibly) wrecked my recording environ

Do you leave Skype running in the background in case you get a call? You can do that to the computer you don't use for recording. Skype got to be the first choice in sound conferencing by viciously taking over the computer running it. It always works because it has a white-knuckle death-grip on your...

Re: Records for a few minutes then freezes

The tangle of recording multiple independent things is bad enough, but do you have anything else running back there? Skype? Other chat products? Is this iChat checking in for calls or connections every six minutes and disrupting the recording?

Re: Suggestions for soundproofing and background elemination

I inspected the code and my current plugin is missing dates, rev, issue, or level info.
I know "version" doesn't work because that's a Nyquist or License ID.
I'll pull the "old" one down when we resolve this.
