Audacity Forum

I exported the file I was working on, then re-opened it as a new project in audacity. It seems to be working ok so far - it doesn't instantly crash but is still rather slow performing simple tasks like cutting.

That is the correct solution for an Audacity project (AUP file and _data folder) that is crashing.

Unfortunately Audacity can be slow doing that in long projects, as stated in the Release Notes http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Relea ... #Interface . If the audio is very long, you can try splitting it up into separate projects.

You haven't said how much disk space you have. Large projects take GB's of data. If you are short of space it takes the computer much longer to find somewhere to put the data.
