Re: Any way to lighten Audacity's CPU/resources usage for an old PC?

The waveform can't be disabled. 4GB is not a lot of RAM for 64-bit Windows 10. It's pretty close to the usable minimum. Audacity is shipped without ASIO support (due to licensing), so it cannot use ASIO drivers. If ASIO is running, you are very likely to get sound problems because ASIO will be tryin...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

And how long is that piece of string in real money ? Divide by the sample rate. 10000000 / 11025 = 907 seconds = about 15 minutes. 10000000 / 44100 = 226.76 seconds = about 4 minutes. 10000000 / 96000 = 104 seconds = about 2 minutes These are all on the safe side - you will probably get a fair bit ...

Re: Any way to lighten Audacity's CPU/resources usage for an old PC?

Probably the best performance boost could be achieved by changing the operating system to a light-weight Linux distribution. I use Xubuntu, which is full featured and pretty light. There are even lighter versions of Linux available, though the lightest ones do cut down on a few features. If you want...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

I've added a warning of this problem on the ACX Check download page:
"This plug-in may fail without warning on selections over 10 million samples duration."

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

and here's the problem: (setq max-len 100000000) ; Empirically determined on my machine, may be hardware dependent. It appears that not only is hardware dependent, but also Nyquist version dependent. The easiest "fix" is to remove a zero in the above. This will cause the plug-in to throw a...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

Here's the error: nyx_error returned from ACX Check. The maximum number of sample blocks has been reached, so audio computation must be terminated. Probably, your program should not be retaining so many samples in memory. You can get and set the maximum using SND-SET-MAX-AUDIO-MEM. error: audio memo...

selecting View > Track Size > Fit to Height from the menus causes the app to crash.
This is a known issue that occurs in the builds that use the old autotools build chain. It does not occur if Audacity is built with cmake. The build instructions included in the source code say to use cmake.
