Audacity 3.6 is out now!

You are not overdubbing the mp3 file.

When you “open” an mp3 with Audacity what Audacity actually does is open a new project and then silently imports the file, in the process converting it to its own internal project file format. So in fact (unless you Save that project somewhere) you are still using the temporary files.

========================================================

The good new is that one of the Muse developers has been working on this and I and one of the Muse QA folk have been QA testing it with long recordings.

And it looks like his latest test branch build mat at last have fixed this issue:

See (long pull request thread):

and logged issue:

So it’s looking likely that this fix may make it into the upcoming 3.6.2 release.

Recording 2 out of 2 this week same format of recording testing in a lightweight pre saved 320/48 mp3 this time with mouse moving which didn’t work last week as crash worked fully not even micro crash with the round target below versions of the crash. So 1 out of 2 weeks doing the same thing it worked but last week it crashed so seems like the crashes on this version of the bug replication seems to be 1 crash 1 non crash on the randomised ratio on recording into a already saved file.

The first file which crashed was no mouse moving during watching sport the perfect test monitor black screened which means screensaver power off cut in but Magix and it’s per file hard drives recording format continued in this state.

Lets hope it’s sorted but then on systems with 8GB or higher it is still doing the micro crash which comes up as a circle below your recording when you leave the mouse alone even if recording crashing is fixed on leaving the mouse so .2 needs to fix those too as only 2GB RAM or lower it should do that sort of behaviour you kinda expect it but on 8-32 nah he needs to fix the mouse leaving micro ones on the loopback.

I agree. For the purpose of outlining the buttons in an aesthetically
pleasing way, my suggestion would be to try a subtle .5 mm border
around the bttons of a slightly lighter shade of the button color.

148

no the outlines looking like I described got fixed a while ago

Issue with just playing since updating to this version, Installed just fine, can download and see the track/wave, but when I click play, it does nothing.

I forgot the tag of the OP as it’s an important key info on the crash produced by another alternative route so deleted the original posts so I can send them to wax: I’ve also put them both in one post too so it doesn’t appear like spam and being slimlined.

There is an interesting thing I flagged up today whilst recording a pre recorded long track without saving it on purpose 99 minutes 30 seconds 109:30 the same recording crash happened on pre recorded stuff where the recording is short snippets followed by a track on the timeline.

So that is the average time you’ll get the crash at I think good starting point as that wasn’t from a straight recording but it crashed with the same log as if it was.

The recording must be a very hard thing to bugfix the update still isn’t up. I guess it’s great news they are taking their time though as it does need to become better on strong systems not giving the bottom micro crash reports with circles as well. Those ones happen when you turn a wireless mouse off on the switch, turn the monitor off as well whilst it is recording and after an hour it tends to do it if it gets that far but in this version it has to have Magix in the background recording to even get that far anyway as it crashes on those black and flip screen power saving screensavers.

I thought the missing inner envelope boundary lines were fixed in v3.6.2? Currently they’re still missing, unless you zoom in an extreme amount.

Just tried 3.6.2 and muli-channel ac3 export still crashes every time. Back to 3.5.1

156

Thank you. :grinning: Maintenance releases are appreciated more than you know!

157

Another update? My experience is that, with each update, something which used to work well stops working, or has to be done in a different way which requires more steps. This has happened for me at least three times now. After this update, I can no longer paste easily into the File Name field. It glitches, requiring a work around. WTF?

I think it’s time for me to go look for another app.

I still have to wait to use it because of my hissy jack and OpenVinu not being out yet. Darn it. But yeah bug fixes like this are very appreciated by my end of course I hope 8GB - 16GB RAM systems bug relating to the circle micro recording crashes is fixed as well there is no way systems way above the weight of the RAM targets for the program should be mirco crashing the way it does neither.

But I for sure will be onto this as soon as Vinu is out.

8GB+ RAM Micro dropouts recording crashes are still in effect since 3.6.2.

Replication: Turning wireless mouse off then leaving to record in a test run for later. Whilst the program didn’t crash in testing the micro crash on high RAM machines are still happening.

Time on clock: 16:45 after turning mouse off and leaving it to record.

Loss of Data: About 3-5 seconds of blank where it’s supposed to be music.

Device: Loopback pure digital data recorder.

Oh, you knew if I see it again I was going to say it wasn’t a full crash fix with evidence and a full data loss report.

As you can see statistics are not a problem it’s quite a powerful base machine I have now and Magix doesn’t do these dropouts with it’s HD0 files alongside the proper ones.

This never happens with mouse on and moving about only when turning the mouse off then leaving the machine.

Magix Audio Cleaning Lab recordings do not crash doing dropouts on the same machine same conditions of mouse off.

It might be a legit odd bug issue relating to when there is an idol switched off mouse on the program.

Hello!

Very good job with the new realease! Congrats! It serves me a lot, specially the effects in real time! It’s been a long time I use Audacity, and with this new version the program has steped up! Thanks for it!

However, I am experiencing an issue very oftenly and I’d like to report it.
It is that, when I save a project and then close the window, the program crashes and shuts down every other window that was opened. A crash report is generated, but it fails to send it.

Afterwards, I have to rerun Audacity and it offers me the possibility to restore all the projects that were opened before the crash.

Is this a problem with the installation? May I uninstall and reinstall Audacity? How can I solve this?

Thanks for the help!!
Greetings!

161

That’s a problem with Audacity 3.6.2, we’ll fix it soon.

162

The crash on close bug is fixed in 3.6.3 @here – you can download it from audacityteam.org; I’ll send the update notification in Audacity itself tomorrow morning

163

Audacity just gets better and better. Thank you for your awesome work!

164

Thank you very much Mr. Winterberg!

165

Thank you. I installed! However, the consistent dropping of sound 8 seconds in remains. Please advise.
