Audacity Forum

This is my first time using this forum so I don't know if I'm doing this right and not looking for topic, does anyone know why my version of Audacity is freezing in mid-recording for no reason? Happens several times and without warning. Thank you for your time, help greatly appreciated.

Which version of Audacity is that?
What are you recording?

Make sure you're not running out of hard drive space. You need at least 20% free space on a moderate size drive for audio (or video) production.

I'll have to double check which version it is but I downloaded and am using the version that I was told is the best for my Mac OS X. I know that's it's not running out of space becuase I use the computer so infrequently, plus, I constantly clean out the cache to make sure it's operating properly. I'm using Audacity to record old cassettes and vynil into wav. files.

See Audacity > About Audacity for your version. We need to know the full three-digit number.

Is it a USB turntable? If so, try removing and reattaching the USB cable, try a new or shorter cable, and plug into a spare USB port, not a USB hub.

The cache is one thing, but Audacity (and other production programs) use 'real' storage -- and a lot of it. You should go down that pathway and see what the actual storage capacity and availability is.
