Audacity Forum

Thanks, Gale. I'm not nerdy enough to sit and watch the progress bars anyway lol! Though, seriously, if you are taking a poll, getting the effects processed more quickly (or at all) is the more important thing to me.

Thanks, Gale, for that link.

Thanks for the info, Steve. I was a little worried that the new memory usage was more the direction they were going permanently, so your explanation was a relief. Please keep us updated. Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between how 1.2.6 handles nyquist and how 1.3.x does it, to make it...

Had the same thing happen to a long (90min) mono WAV file, using the Hi-Pass filter. These functions of Audacity are key to the type of work that I am doing, which is mastering and restoring old lectures. I had hoped to be able to use 3.9 because of the key shortcut for "Play at speed", which seems ...

Processing the track in 20 minute sections resolved the issue as I now had sufficient RAM to complete the operation. I think that it is quite likely that you were just running out of available RAM. That is possible. Is this a problem with 3.9 that they are working on to fix? I have never had troubl...

Just an(other) update. Notching the channels one at a time works fine, so I will stick to doing that for now.

Alright, I tested the latest build (As of 9/13/09) and I still get hung up. It does seem to behave a bit differently, for instance, instead of locking up at the halfway point, it speeds up and locks up when the status bar is at the end, at 3:02 with 2 seconds left. As a note, I tried applying the fi...

I just tested this in Vista with the same results. Dual core AMD Turion x2 2GB RAM

"Also many or all effects process much slower in 1.3.9 and 1.3.10 and take much longer to display the resultant waveform after processing." Well, so far it's more like they monopolize my system, but that may be a separate problem. Is this something they are working out? This was a stereo file. Anywa...

"remove Tone" is a nyquist filter built by David R. Sky. You select audio, and it will give you the frequency of the tone, and you have the option to remove it. It can also work as a straight notch filter.
