Audacity Forum

I tried another option I thought of earlier: exporting all the audio, and then importing it into a new project. That fixed the problem of the cracks, but now, of course I have only one track left and I need to make the cuts all over again. Fact is, in some way an Audacity project can go corrupt. I s...

Dear Gale, Thanks for your explanation. I must admit that I'm working with Audacity for over three years now, and that I understand the basic principles of editing interviews and making manual edits of songs. So to say, I am sure these "static pops and beeps" have nothing to do with that. As I menti...

EDIT #1: I've been editing this project that was recorded using my old Behringer Xenyx mixer for over an hour now, and all went pretty smooth. So far it seems it was the project with the imported MP3's that caused the trouble. What doubles it, is that I've been recording audio both using USB-mixers ...

I've tried to work on another file. It seems that I don't get to hear the static cracks now. Since it has been quite a while that I heard them, I can try to think loudly what might have caused this. Both projects are interviews (length about 1-2,5 hours). Long, anyway. The project that brings the st...

I use Audacity 2.05 on Ubuntu Studio 14.04. After a while of editing (that could be somewhere between 5 or 10 minutes after starting, forementioned problem occurs. I attempted to record the sounds that I hear, but I could only by using my external recording device. (There seems to be no other sound ...

If you're asking me, I'm not using a notebook or netbook. Working on a desktop computer.

I also get the same problem, I guess. I'm running Audacity 2.0.3 on Linux Mint 15 64bit Cinnamon on a desktop computer. I can play long interviews without any trouble, but sometimes, when I start doing the montage when removing audio, I hear clicks/pops. And then, on playback, every 5 seconds or so....

Interesting. I've been looking at the system monitor, and as I can see, it only uses around 665 MB of random access memory, not swap memory. Which is explained by the 1 mb blocks Audacity project are built from. Could it have been the graphics card driver, perhaps? I don't see why this would affect ...

Thanks for your assistance so far, Steve! Well here are my systems specifications: Linux Mint 15: olivia (x86-64) Kernel / build: 3.8.0-19-generic / #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 2013 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ x2 (month ago I cleaned it) RAM: 2.4 GB Disk size: 434.9 GB Graphi...

I don't know where my posts have gone, but here I go again. The above shown tab from the Settings screen shows the linux map /var/tmp/audacity-temporary (something like that) I don't have an option for changing buffers or so. I changed the above mentioned folder to a new folder in my Home folder: /h...
