Hello. I am unsure as to what happened here and am looking for help.
I attempted to run a macro that I always run (over 140 podcast episodes now). It is a 6 channel mono macro that is run in this order:
Filter Curve
Low Pass Filter
High Pass Filter
When I came back to my audacity, all of the files were blank (no audio). I control-z’d, to back up, and the files returned. I saved the project and exited, to compress the work. Now when I attempt to load up the same file, it does not work.
I attempt to load it up, and get the error:

}

I run on Audacity 3.1.0.
I now have a .aup3-wal and a .aup3-shm file of the same project, something else I’ve never seen before.
So anyway, I have been looking at it. It is a large file so it takes some time. Also I’m doing other things on my computer so it is running as slow as molasses. I’ll keep you posted. If I’m still working on it tomorrow, I’ll let you know.
UPDATE: I was able to load the project. I exported to a new project which is currently uploading and will be for a few hours. I’ll let you know when it is done.
I think Audacity 3.1 has the ability to save a backup project. That produces a project with no hard links to the current edit. It’s a stand-alone project file. Use a new filename.
Also, if it fits, it’s not the worse idea to export a WAV stand-alone sound file of the work. They don’t have Project instability problems.
