I'm using Windows 10 and Audacity 2.2.2.
I've started experiencing popping noises with each edit. I am a voiceover artist and this is completely unacceptable. Why is this happening and what do I do to fix it?
Also...when I've had a particularly long day recording, and have many files open, I have experienced it locking up with "no response." I have to crash and then try to recover the files. Is there a maximum number of open files that you can have open? And what should I do when it freezes?
Many thanks!

Re: Popping and crashing with too many open files
It could be as described in the FAQ: "Why do I hear clicks when I remove or paste audio, or at the start or end of the track?"nancyhawthorne wrote:I've started experiencing popping noises with each edit.

You could be running short of RAM or disk space.nancyhawthorne wrote:Also...when I've had a particularly long day recording, and have many files open, I have experienced it locking up with "no response."

Hope that automatic recovery works.nancyhawthorne wrote:And what should I do when it freezes?
The real issue is; how to avoid the freezes. From your description, the best solution is probably to take a bit more care with your computer resources by diligently closing files and applications when you are done with them.
