when I run the limiter on tracks > 1 hour it crashes at aproximately 2/3 progress. Reproducable on 2 files.
This didn’t hapen on 2.X. I am aware that the noise gate has RAM limitations on long tracks, is the same now true for the limiter? When I use the limiter on both halfs of track seperately it works fine.
It is right now, but it shouldn’t be (it’s a bug). In fact the same problem currently affects most Nyquist effects.
The developers are looking into it and hope to have it fixed for Audacity 3.0.1.
As background, what’s my use case for “long” limiting? I’m a DJ, and record a single, long set (in Traktor). I have historically edited the resulting recording with the following workflow:
Select all track
Apply limiter (set to roughly a mid-point between lowest volume track and loudest) (broken in 3.0.0)
Select all track
Apply compressor with makeup gain. (Sometimes simply amplify instead, but compressor seems to sound better afterwards.)
