Okay, I have used audacity for a little over 6 years as an audiobook narrator. Self taught through YouTube and trial and error. With the most recent round of updates I have had nothing but issues. I utilize the following master effects when recording -MuseFX (Warm Presence), Compressor standard default setting, Limiter -5 threshold.
When recording it will buffer amd skip part of my recording to catch up causing me to have to do more pick ups.
Sometimes it will just stop recording
I go to utilize standard effects and it take 30+ mins each with several instances of “Not Responding” before it will complete any of the followint my RMS, Compressor, Limiter.
My files are longer some upwards of an hour but this has never been an issue
When i record multiple tracks it makes everything worse
I cant send any of my errors to audacity it gives me some bs about not being able to send. Ai will update with an error cose if I get one.
I purchased the debreather 4 years ago and now its telling me I have to buy it again
And one file took over 45 mins to save and another took an hour to extract to a wav 32bi floater.
Things I have done.
Restart on computer, uninstall and reinstall of audacity (this fixed it for about an hour), updated all my even remotely sound related software including realtek, focusrite, and checked for any other updated on windows 11.
This has gotten to the point where my work is being severely delayed and I am not gonna get my projects out on time because something that should take maybe 30 mins MAX is running me over an hour or more in some cases.
Does anyone have suggestions because at this point I’m about to start learning reaper.
