I don’t know why a perfectly accurate, but unresolved, topic gets closed automatically in only 30 days. I would have just bumped it again, but it’s closed. So I’m just copy/pasting the title and pasting the link here because it (and the associated video) describes exactly the same frustrating apparently random problem I’ve had for years. Can’t be coincidence.
If I’m doing something wrong, then just let me know. Otherwise, here it is:
I am experiencing errors when using Macros in Audacity when trying to process multiple songs consecutively.
I have tried with:
Different versions of Audacity (including some recent and some older),
Different versions of Windows,
Several computers,
And even on Linux.
The result is always the same: Audacity gives error during the process.
I also tried to send the error report from the same application, but that function does not respond correctly either.
This problem is not new; it has been happening since several versions ago.
I tried with different audio files (a few seconds and between 4 and 5 minutes), in various formats, and the error still occurs.
The strangest thing is that there is no clear pattern:
Sometimes I can process 100 songs without inconvenience,
Other times the error appears in every file,
And sometimes it crashes every 5, 10 or 15 songs.
On closer inspection, I noticed that many times the error occurs just when Audacity displays the message “Discarding Undo/Redo History”.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
I attach a video of my experience as it happens to me, since several years ago I exposed the same problem and I didn’t know how to express myself or make myself understood well.
