"Do you have split lines (black vertical lines in the project separating clips in the track)? Clicking on those lines to merge clips or clicking close to those lines can cause crashes. Usually it only affects specific projects. Is it only one project that crashes?" Yes, I have the black lines, but I...

"Reinstall doesn't scrub Audacity clean"

What doesn't it clean, and is that problematical?

"You can install multiple different Audacity versions as long as you never run more than one."

So if I can find out how to install a new version, leaving the old, that might be a good option.

"getting the words right is a big deal" It was "inconsistencies". I originally tried a search with "irregularities" and got nothing.

I certainly didn't intend to make trouble here. I trying to understand something beyond my knowledge. I've made purchases based on recommendations here. I need to assess this best I can, not sure what I will purchase or not. It's not just an exercise. It is confusing when the experts disagree when I...

Thanks for all that. I'll consider these items if I decide to change equipment. Not expensive. Do you agree with Chris that the Dual Pre is the source of my noise? There is a power line 50 or 60 ft away, but it serves only a few properties in this rural area, some are summer camps. My electric is mi...

This is over my head. Better tell me exactly what to do. I'll understand later.
