ImageThis forum is for Audacity on macOS 10.4 and later.
Please state which version of macOS you are using,
and the exact three-section version number of Audacity from "Audacity menu > About Audacity".

Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x are obsolete and no longer supported. If you still have those versions, please upgrade at https://www.audacityteam.org/download/.
The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the 1.2.x and 1.3.x forums.

 Memory Leak? Every time Audacity loops through a file it leaves a tiny part of itself in memory.

CPU, MEMORY and DISK are semi-real time displays and you can watch the progress of your jobs and how many resources are being used. It's possible you're going to find something slowly filling up or in some other way advancing over time, eventually failing.

Solved it. In Library/Applocation Support/audacity there is a session file, deleted that and the app starts up now.
