Audacity Forum

Thanks Jademan, in the meantime I'll work around it.

This is still an issue for me, occurring randomly when applied to some clips but not others. None of the clips or projects are in negative time. Is there any information I can gather that might help identify the cause?

If it helps, the progress bar moves to within a whisker of the end, then Audacity 'thinks' for a second or two before disappearing from the screen. No error message is displayed. Restarting Audacity offers to restore the open projects (successfully) to the state before attempting the change. Many th...

Thanks, I remember that point earlier but none of the audio is in negative time (see screen shot). I changed individual segments(?) to achieve the exact hour.

Change Tempo doesn't crash but fails to take effect. The only change before the crashes is that yesterday I e...

I forgot to mention that as well as the spikes and distortion, the sound levels rose to unacceptable levels. I've created 9 small projects in v.3.0.0 of 17-18 min...

Thanks for your responses. I'm using Windows 10 Home v.20.H2. The crash happens whenever I apply the Change Tempo function, even on short stretches. I installed v.3.0.0 and as my first session imported three one hour .aup files. They've been saved as .aup3 files but I notice distortion spikes have c...

I can't find this reported anywhere so I hope I haven't duplicated. The Change Tempo effect on an hour-long project crashes all open Audacity screens. On reopening recovery seems to work properly without data loss. This has happened three times in succession.
