was using A

Hello, please don’t abbreviate. Was “A” Audacity?

@trynhard

with usb A/D converter-recording

What is the make and model number of that converter? Does it need special drivers supplied by the manufacturer? If so, you should make sure you have those drivers.

If you record regularly with USB converters, you should reboot the computer regularly.

Audacity does not have the kernel permissions to freeze or crash your computer. Some lower level problem caused that.

Just restart Audacity. It should then show you an “Automatic Crash Recovery” dialogue and you should be able to press a button to recover the project. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/recovery.html.
