Audacity Forum

There don't seem to be any problems with smaller files or those with lower bit/sample rate. Unfortunately, too low a bit rate then the file will not convert to an audio file. I guess I will just have to continue exploring.

I have 2 Tb of a 4 Tb drive free. It happens on more than one computer so I doubt that storage or CPU speed has much to do with it. In my exploration, I see that a file is saved 2 - 3 times a minuter in the temp folder. This could add up to a thousand files in one session and I do one on Saturday an...

I record very long audio sessions and expect delays because of the very large file size. When I finish a 15 hour session, it can take 20 - 30 minutes to save. When I want to go to a specific location in the track, there are exceptionally long delays. This I understand and can accept. If I save then ...

And it does it with such incredible consistency. Short recordings work perfectly without delays. When I play them, I tend to delete that which I have listened and save the balance. It can get down to 3 hours and I save it but still takes 3 minutes to load, 2 minuted to get to the end of the track wh...

FYI: 8 gig memory and nothing else running on the system when I am recording. 64bit operating system x64-based processor.

It works like a charm. I even pushed it out to 20 hours
Copy/paste, Cut paste. move to the beginning middle or end. All in a fraction of a second each.
My settings show Mono, 4410HZ, 32-bit float: The same as when I an recording radio.

Very interesting,...

I am setting up the 10 hour test and will report in the morning.
BTW: I have been using the Mono setting all along.

Hmmm, complaint is a bit harsh here. I have full confidence in Audacity. If slow response is the result of 18 hour recordings then so be it. I was just wondering if I had over looked something or if others may have seen this same result. The situation has not changed from the original question thoug...

Audacity 2.1.1
Win 10
I probably did the installer. Is there any way to determine this?
I do not recall if this happened in Win 8.

Someone helped me set this up years ago then something burped and I could not get it working again. I would like Audacity to load and initialize then start/stop recording hourly. In an 18h hour recording session there would be 18 tracks of audio. If I could get the track name to contain the hour inf...
