Recording seems to be hanging.

Post by sombunya » Mon Sep 12, 2011 2:17 am

Haven't had any trouble like this until today. Beta version 1.3. I'm recording vinyl discs using a NAD D to A converter, Windows XP.

After 8-15 minutes into the recording it stops moving forward and just seems to hang, repeating at the rate of about three times per second. The timer does not move. It just sort of freezes, repeating the spot where it "hangs" at.

I tried a disc de-frag and clean up although it didn't need it. I keep my machine pretty clean too.

Any ideas why this just started to occur?

You defragmented, but do you have enough drive space? I forget the accurate number, but it's megs per minute at the default Audacity capture configuration.

Anything else going on with your machine? Does it still do that if you disconnect the internet and restart?
