This forum is for Audacity on Windows.Audacity v. 2.0.6
.exe installer
Hello,
Came back to Audacity today after six months or so of not using it on this computer and found that each time I try to edit a file, I can playback the sound fine but the editing controls lock up and are displayed all in gray on the menus. Sometimes I can perform a few editing tasks before the menus gray out, and other times they gray out immediately after the file opens. I uninstalled my previous version and installed 2.0.6, but the same problem keeps happening with both. I also tried downloading the LAME encoder and FFmpeg libraries (also for v. 2.0.6) but didn't notice a change.
Files more than 20 minutes long will also open very slowly, and the sound wave takes a while to appear in the project editing screen, sometimes accompanied by the "Not Responding" message from Windows before the file successfully opens.
Any help is much appreciated!
