Does this occur immediately on launch, or only after you do something?

Happy Birthday! Audacity turns 20 today with the first released version, Audacity 0.8, having been released on the 28th of May, 2000. In these 20 years many operating systems have come and gone, and we’re still here and running. https://www.audacityteam.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/chocolate-birth...

@waxcylinder It may be worth testing with dither set to "none" as this could indicate where the extra time is going. My results: Linux: Shaped dither: 16 seconds No dither: 4 seconds macOS: Shaped dither: 7 seconds No dither: 3.5 seconds The difference in speed without dither is probably b...

The option in the spectral selection toolbar for "center frequency and width" shows the width in octaves, but there is no option for Hz/kHz. There's an option for "Low and High Frequencies". Alternatively, you could get the width in kHz by running this code in the Nyquist Prompt...

I'm not seeing the problem on Linux. In both 2.3.3 and 2.4.1, with two stereo tracks, 1 hour duration, "Export Selection -> 16-bit WAV", writing to a SSD, just a shade over 16 seconds in each case. Perhaps worth checking that all are using the same "Quality" settings in Preferenc...

From what I read there it is addressing the microphone and camera permissions and not the sound card. On most systems, permissions for "microphone" is an inclusive term meaning "all and any audio device". Both Microsoft and Apple have become more restrictive with permissions in ...

In spectrogram track view, the cursor icon changes according to what you are doing (there are additional icons when using " spectral selection "). The icons cannot be customised. Vertical zooming can be helpful in some cases: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/vertical_zooming.html For me...

If I understand correctly, You have two audio files. File "A" is the original. File "B" is a copy of "A". File "B" has been trimmed at both the start and the end so that it is shorter than "A". You want a new file / audio track ("C"), that:...

The only change i had made on the laptop was installing the FFMpeg library, from the audacity website. FFmpeg isn't used for WAV files, so I think this is a red herring. The version of FFmpeg that you need for Audacity 2.3.3 is listed as: RECOMMENDED download:ffmpeg_64bit_osx.pkg when i brought the...
