Audacity Forum

This was a comment from earlier. I tried it and sure enough, mine pooped out at 37 minutes. Yes, it would be desirable to make it go longer. I'll sort this when it gets to be daytime here.

I currently do let's plays and I'm preparing for trying a podcast setting, which wouldn't play well with audio cut outs. That's a specialized application with lots of buzz words. You're recording your live microphone while a game plays? Where is the game? Is it an on-line process? Audacity will sto...

OK, before you get all throw-uppy. You did actually find a bad UFO-202?

RMS-Normalize is a volume defining tool. Limiter isn't. The first three tools don't care at all the volume of the orig...

Both of those have to be in the same location or folder, they have to have the name they were born ...

It sounds like a physical problem such as cable or connection defect.

This was a broken microphone cable.

I suspect that she may have fallen victim to this bug:

Which was solved in Audacity 2.2.2.

This one caught us out because it's caused by people using a normal tool in an unnatural way—Save As when Save was intended. So it wasn't tested. And it was unstable.
