I use Audacity 2.2.2 on an old (but free!) computer running W7 to record birds migration during the night :
-I set up Audacity to start/stop recording at the hours I choose (22:00 to 06:00)
-I choose “shutdown the system when finish”
-when it starts, a “stopwatch” begin, showing the time spent and the remaining time
It worked well, but since a few days, a problem has appeared…
-the record never stops by itself
-the “stopwatch” count 10s, and nothing else, even if 10 hours has spent, and the record continues, continues, …
I’ve tried to erase and reinstall Audacity 2.2.2 : no result… Can’t install Audacity 3. because a .dll couldn’t be found…
I cannot replicate this on W10 with 3.0.5 or the latest 3.1.0 alpha test build I have.
Test was a 10 second Timer Record.
And on Monday evening I used Timer Record for a 2 hour 15 minute recording while I was out and that too stopped just fine.
Are you sure that you did not extend the date range - i’e make a much longer TR than you thought you had? I have had problems with the time tumblers like that in the past - now I check very carefully …
Yes, you’re right : I had also some pb with the time tumblers, and I check them every time.
All was working fine before (since 3 months) : the pb appears just a few days ago.
Furthermore, I have setted up another computer (the same), with exactly the same outlines (OS, hardware and software) : it works nice since 8 months.
I guess Audacity isn’t in fault, but I don’t find what could be…?
Hello,
=> Yes, what you note is real and need to be improve : I had some pb sometimes with spinboxes too.
=> But in the case I report, date+hour are checked and they are the good ones : Audacity just seems not to “count” the time, so it doesn’t stop.
