I’m an audiobook producer, working on the longest chapter in my current 400 page project and am again having several seconds lag time between clicks while editing. It is not as bad on other projects but i have tried moving a smaller portion (about 45 min of audio) of the project to a clean project with only 5 or 6 tracks and it’s no better. Last time this happened, i had to get a new computer. This is the new computer. I’m attempting a reinstall of windows, though I don’t think that will fix the issue because I don’t think it to be a windows issue. I get nervous about uninstalling/reinstalling audacity for fear of losing things I’ve forgotten I need.
