I recently was editing a recording of a book, when all of the sudden Audacity started to give me some super lag! I thought it was strange because up until that point it was pretty zippy. I went online to see if I could find anything, to help and came up short. I checked my computer specs to make sure I have plenty of RAM, and sure enough 15 GB available with only 20% CPU utilization. So the only thing that made sense was it was something on the recording itself causing a processing issue… and sure enough I narrowed it down to a 10 second snippet at the beginning.
Has anyone had an issue like this before. Any way to know what’s causing this problem? I just rerecorded the audio snippet and cut a paste everything else into a new project, and its all working peachy now. It would be nice to know how to locate and correct an issue like this in the future without so much effort…
I can share the snippet if anyone wants to check it out. I can’t upload here I guess because 20mb is over the size limit allowed. So I’ll have upload somewhere else or share from my personal drive or something…
