I have Windows 10 and Audacity 3.0.2
I made the mistake of updating to the new version of Audacity in the middle of my audiobook. When I pull up a file to edit, the program freezes for 15-30 seconds or more and I get the “Not Responding” prompt in the top left. Most of the time it unfreezes on its own eventually. I can record (in mono) just fine. The problem starts when I go to edit and each command causes it to freeze up. I thought this was just affecting audio files recorded using the old version that I had, however I just found out today that it is also affecting files that were recorded using the new version.
I found a similar topic while searching here and the suggested fix included deleting 3 specific hidden files that were obsolete with the new version. Once removed, Audacity stopped freezing up. First of all, I have no idea how to do that because I am not very tech savvy with Audacity (or in general) and secondly, I don’t know if that suggestion will fix my problem.
Thanks in advance for keeping it simple.
