Hi there,
I use Audacity to record audio tracks that are anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours long. I’ve recently installed the Nyquist Noise Gate plugin for Audacity, and I’ve found that when I try to apply this effect to a shorter track (roughly an hour or less) it works fine. However, when I try to apply it to a track longer than an hour (on average), the effect will get about halfway to two-thirds finished, and then it will either fail with no notification, or I’ll get an error message that says “Audacity failed to read from a file in R:” R drive is my Raptor drive that I record to. This error message seems to be somewhat generic. I have tried searching it, and I’ve found others who encountered the error, but in completely different circumstances. There seemed to be some who thought that the audio file was corrupted, but I get this consistently on brand new recordings that don’t have any other problems otherwise.
Relevant info:
Audacity 2.2.2
Recording in mono, 44100 Hz, 32 bit float.
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Recording with a Blue Yeti microphone, connected via USB
