I saw a similar thread in the 1.3 section and posted these results there before realizing I was in the wrong forum.
I am posting here just to be sure the problem is not missed.
I am seeing the same problem on Windows 7 with noise removal, 96k projects and Audacity 2.0.3.
I installed Audacity using the .exe installer.
Load multiple 24/96 tracks.
Select a small 1-2 second section at the front of a track.
Select noise removal and then noise profile.
Use that noise profile to add silence on multiple tracks
Eventually I can cause the crash as follows:
a) Select a small range
b) Select noise removal and then OK to create silence
c) Click on the separation between the noise removal range and the rest of the track
d) Click on the still highlighted section where noise removal was used.
At this point the crash occurs. Unfortunately I don’t think it occurs every time.
It took me a while to recreate it today but now it happens quite often.
Here is the crash summary from Windows 7.

I also noticed that when I use Project Recovery afterward, inconsistencies are reported.
Often if I save the tracks after the recovery, the results are just garbage.
I find it easier to start over and try to be more careful when using noise removal.
I deleted that post. Thanks for reposting in a new topic.
What forms the separation between the selected audio that had its noise removed and the rest of the track?
Is it a black vertical line (split line) or something else?
Is this line at left or right of the selected area, or is there a line at both sides?
Noise Removal does not create a clip with a split line or lines unless you have separate clips in the track. Therefore your steps to reproduce probably rely on clips that you have not told us how to reproduce.
I don’t get crashes on following your steps, even having split parts of the track into clips and applied Noise Removal to it.
Does the separation line disappear when you click on it?
Crashes have in the past occurred when clicking on split lines and probably still do (because there are single-sample clips that you cannot see until you zoom in). It’s less common for the crash to appear when you do something else after that click. Do you wait before clicking in the selection?

The separations are black vertical lines.
The line is generally to the right of the selected area because it seems to occur most often when working on a fade-in.
I generally use fade-out without noise removal.
I don’t think I am creating clips but I may not understand what you are saying. I start with a single track, select part of it for noise removal and then somehow get a crash by clicking on the separator line. Since it does not happen every time I do this, I may be inadvertently doing something else as I click the separation line.
The separation line does disappear, there is a slight pause and then the application crashes. I generally recognize the pause (which also happens in other situations with large operations like amplify) and have a chance to think “%%&%&%$” before the crash occurs.
Something else must be affecting the crash. I am not seeing the problem this evening. When it occurred this afternoon I was working on the second or third album. I generally use import, work on the files and then use export multiple to save the results. I also “close” the project. aud_project.aup (418 KB)
Are you using Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split (COMMAND + I) - I as in first person singular - in the problem project?
Is the attached the problem project? There are nine stereo tracks, and no separate clips in those tracks, so there should be no split lines.
Does this black vertical line appear when applying Noise Removal on a short selection starting at the start of the track? This would produce a split line at the end of the selection, but a selection from 0.1 seconds to 3 seconds should produce no split line.
Effect > Fade In should not produce a split line. Do you mean Cross Fade In?
Does File > Open Metadata Editor…, press “Clear”, OK then reopen the project stop the crashing?
Anyway, since the attached project seems to have no split lines there does not seem any action to take.
I suggest you File > Export Multiple as WAV, quit Audacity, import the nine WAV’s into a new project, save the project as a new name then start over.
Also are you trying to apply the same effects in the same place to all tracks? Which effects? There may be better ways to do this using File > Apply Chain, that does not stress the computer with so many tracks. Extra plug-ins may be required.
Or if these are recordings, press the Pause button between each track then you will only have one track to deal with. Is the noise in each album on the track really different so you have to deal with it track by track?
I am not using Clip Boundaries. All of my editing was done with Noise Removal, Fade-in, Fade-out, Repair and Amplify.
The attached project (track 4) is the one that was failing, unfortunately the problem has not reappeared now that I am trying to reproduce it.
The split line is created by Noise Removal, not Fade-in.
In the project file AUP you submitted, there are no separate clips in any of the tracks (as I said).
The screenshot you submitted shows no black vertical lines.
As explained, Noise Removal would produce one split line at the right of the processed selection if you dragged the selection from the start of the track then a little way along.
To make sure there are no clips in the tracks, I recommend exporting each track as a WAV then importing to and saving as a new project.
With no evidence of anything “wrong” in the AUP file and no project (including the _data folder) that crashes, there is not much we can do. Perhaps your split line click that produced the last crash cured the problem.
I made as many suggestions as I could to try and minimise the risk of a recurrence, but let us know if it happens again in a fresh project.
