I’ve been running 3.0 since shortly after release with no issues.
However about a week ago, with no changes to my system that I can identify, it suddenly became very slow. For example, I’m working with a 3-track, 1.5 hour podcast- I used to be able to click and select each track, ctrl-click, shift click, whatever, with no noticeable lag. I just tried doing that and each time it took between 7 and 8 seconds to select a track. Each time I got the “(not responding)” in the status bar at about 5 seconds.
I tried updating to 3.0.2… no change.
One thing that I have noticed is, no matter how I save the file, I frequently get the error “This project was not saved properly the last time Audacity Ran” “It has been recovered to the last snapshot.” (Also, I could be mis-remembering this, but I thought that in the past, if I saved a project, and went back to the save menu, then “Save Project” would be grayed out, indicating it had been saved. It definitely doesn’t behave this way now, I can always click save. But like I said I’m not 100% sure how it behaved before).
Just curious, if I wanted to roll back… is there a way to save my project in a format that is compatible with the old versions?
