“Internal Error at WaveClip.cpp line 161.”

Happens whenever I try to use the ACX check plugin, or use the Limiter function (after clicking apply).

Here’s a copy/paste of the problem details.

Quick addition to this: this happens only with one specific file. So I imagine it’s likely a file corruption issue. However, I have no idea what caused it, and really don’t want this happening again, especially to any larger projects in the future. Luckily, this was only a 1-minute file.

“Error 161” - is that really an error number, or are you referring to “line 161” in

"value": "Internal error at <path> line 161.\nPlease inform the Audacity team at https://<path>.",

If the latter, does the message literally say “” or does it report the actual file path?
If the latter, what is the file path?

Does this happen with Effect > Amplify ?
