Hi, I am using Windows 7 and have the last version of Audacity,a t least last time I checked, about 9 months ago, it was the latest
I am not sure I am posting under the correct subject, it is the closest I could find.So I apologize,
Am so frustrated, For some reasons I cannot understand, the last few days, Audacity, has been acting funny, when I edit the files.after recording, It is way too long to make any kind of little editing, even deleting a short stretch takes about 30 secs, at least, to amplify few seconds recording, takes one minute, and then a little blue wheel appears and it mean it is processing, and then this msg comes up on the top bar “Audacity is not responding”
And it takes even longer, also, when I apply Generate Silence, to remove breaths or so, even in very short stretches, it gives me these splitting lines, after it is done and it does not let me merge them, as it usually would do all the time before
Also, most of the time it just freezes and then closes the file without allowing me to save it as Audacity project. and I am losing so much data.
I have been using Audacity for years, and I have never had such a problem, it has always been fast and effective. Now I am losing data and just to edit 5 minutes is taking 4 hours, please help,
DO you think I have to re install it. or re download it? I am afraid that if I do, I might lose all the files on my hard drive, linked to Audacity program, please can you let me know if it is safe to re download it and what is the safest way to do that
