Hi all,
I never had any problem with this great software (I installed it about two weeks ago completing succesfully a number of recordings) until today, when I tried to open it without success.
I'm a Os X 10.6.8 user. The issue I experience is that the process remains in memory, fans work a lot, but the gui doesn't start and I have to force quit it.
I had the last official version, I tried to remove and reinstall, as well as downgrade with a previous version or upgrade with a nightly build, but the problem remains the same.
Any help really appreciated.

Re: Audacity doesn't start
Have you added new plug-ins since the problem started?
