After using this app for several months now, I notice what seems to be a memory management problem. This morning I’ve been editing Metadata on 6 m4a files I have in a folder. When I first launched Audacity and loaded the first file, it loaded fast in less than 3 secs. I made my changes and exported it which took about 60 secs to export. I closed the first file then opened the next song file of about the same size. This file took about 80 secs to load. Export took about 90 secs. Loading the 3rd file was over 120 secs. I am closing the files after each export. If I close the app and reboot, then the first loaded song is fast, then each load/export takes progressively longer. Seems to be a memory management issue, but don’t know if it’s an Audacity issue or a Mac issue.
Also, is there somewhere in my profile here to create a signature?

Audacity 2.0.6 does not officially support Yosemite.
The release notes say:
OS X 10.10 Yosemite: Audacity 2.0.6 will not officially support OS X 10.10 Yosemite when released (in particular, Apple Audio Units may not open in Audacity).
Since then, work has been done and it is believed that Apple Audio Units should work in the next Audacity release. Feedback from users of Yosemite is welcome so that any remaining issues may be addressed.
I’m not a Mac user myself so I can’t comment on your findings, but your post will be seen by the QA guys that do run Yosemite.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about… my account should be more talented when I slide off moderation. That sentence makes absolutely no sense to me. If it’s supposed to be an insult, it doesn’t work, because I don’t get it. uhhhm…
A while back it was determined that the forum elves could not keep up with real-time trolls and SPAM on the forum, so new posters are placed in “moderation.” A Forum Elf reads your posting (it’s visible to us) and accepts it for publication. If you behave yourself during the moderation period, eventually moderation quietly goes away and your posts appear immediately. No elf needed.
It certainly wasn’t an insult, but even if you “behave” then when you come off moderation, you’re still not as a standard user allowed a signature. Too many spammers were cutting and pasting legitimate looking questions, then adding their advertising signature as soon as they came off moderation.
If you really need a signature, wait until you see a “PM” icon under my name in a post, then send me a Private Message about it.
In most cases the information that we need is just (for your setup):
Audacity 2.0.5 - DMG install
MacBook Pro - Yosemite 10.10.1
BTW, the current version of Audacity is 2.0.6, available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/mac
Audacity 2.1 is due out in January and will have some fixes for Yosemite.
I’m very sympathetic to that reason. However due to Signature - #11 by Gale_Andrews we would actually have to create a new group that had standard user permissions plus signature permissions. That isn’t a big deal either - it’s just a shame that we can’t really enable signatures automatically.
