Audacity 3.7.3 on Windows 10 Home
Exporting to MP3 within a macro “works,” but crashes without creating the output file. Specifically, the Export pop-up shows “Exporting the audio with Standard preset” and the progress bar goes across as expected, then a brief pop-up appears - too fast for me to read, but something about the Undo History… then Audacity crashes, without having written the file. Exporting “manually” (not within a macro) works perfectly. I’ve tested this with my own macro, and with the built-in “MP3 Conversion” macro - same result.
Even Stranger: The examples above were done via the Macro Palette, using the “Files…” button to select the input. To test, I manually dragged an audio file into Audacity, selected that track, then applied the “MP3 Conversion” macro, which completed the Export step, and did not crash Audacity - but did not write the file, it’s not in the directory specified in the Export settings.
This is very similar to 2021’s The “export as mp3” macro command does not work but that error did not result in Audacity crashing.
Here’s the first part of the crash report - I’m happy to provide more.
