Batch Process Macros Read Error

hello

I set up a Macro Script to Level and Normailise my mp3’s

Add files and it seems to run the 1st mp3 file then crash with read violation error on 2nd file

If you run the macro on a single file works great

Seems with batch process fails

Any help would be appreciated

Audacity includes a macro by default that does that. It’s called “MP3 Conversion”. (I’ve just tested it in 3.2.1 - no problems)

I am using that Macro file

but the batch process fails on multiple files

The macro work on single files

Audacity 3.2.1 was released a few days ago and addresses this issue.

I updated and I’m still having the crash issue. Do you have any recommendations? (Thanks in advance)

So, a couple of totally different things you can try:

  1. Create an audio signal from an empty workspace via Generating > Tone. Save this tone to two separate mp3 files in a totally separate directory. Does your macro fail with these files?

  2. Run Tools > Reset Configuration, and try again.

  3. Close Audacity, then rename your audacity settings directory by:
    a) Click on the magnifying glass in your Windows Toolbar and type %appdata%
    b) Rename the audacity sub-directory to audacity-hold (note this will move your Macros directory, so you will also have to reenter your macro).
    c) When you startup Audacity, it will create a brand-new audacity setting directory. After your test, you may wish to delete this new audacity directory and rename audacity-hold back to audacity.

  4. If none of the above steps fix the issue, post the macro here (it may still be in your audacity-hold\Macros directory created in the previous step).
