Today I downloaded v2.1.3 in the hope that it might cure this problem. I record Big Band music performances with about 12 or more numbers per 1 hour session as a single .wav file. However, when I import one of them into Audacity to separate the ‘tracks’ and remove the inter tune chat, I can only highlight one tune and ‘Export Selected’ twice, after which the only options available under the ‘File’ tab are:
Yes. It’s a Windows thing. “File” gets scrambled between the two platforms.
It might be worth noting that I can’t get that few menu items to highlight even if I don’t have a timeline at all.
What happens if you disconnect the network, stop the virus software and try it again? If you restart the machine make sure you deep restart it with Shift-Shutdown, then start. If you install Audacity again, you can hard restart that by ticking the installer box that says [X] reset preferences and settings.
It sounds like you do this all the time. Is your drive filling up? The video people have a symptom where “suddenly, everything acts weird for no apparent reason.” If you have “satellite” or extension drives, any one of them filling up can cause insanity. Doesn’t have to be the system drive.
Again for the long time users, Windows machines can get fragmented and if you shut your machine down at night, Windows has no chance to automatically fix it.
If you have a solid state drive, this doesn’t work.
