Audacity

John, I've seen several of your postings, and I think I recall you're on 
Windows, but I can't replicate the problem. On my systems, the release 
version has the same performance characteristics as the pre3. The only 
times I've seen significant slow-down is when I've been doing lots of 
edits & put up the History window -- but that happens on both pre3 & the 
release. It sounds like a memory shortage problem. Do you have something 
in place that limits the amount of memory available to the release 
version, or its priority?

Sorry I can't help, but I want to let you know that the developers are 
seeing your postings. Thanks for your persistence.

FWIW, I can't replicate the reported failure on recording after about an 
hour, either, even though it's been reported a few times for Windows users.

Re: [Audacity-users] Interface Problems From: Moonie <mooncane@be...> - 2004-06-26 00:20 Just to help John get his problem squared away, I want to point out that John's problems are actually with a Mac running OSX. In an earlier post, John put this near the bottom: >Running OS 10.3.4 (earlier had mistakenly said X.2) on a blue and white >G3; 500 megs memory, plenty of free disk space. And the puzzling thing about is that an earlier Audacity version seems to have worked quite well for him, but whether that was before 10.3.4 or not I cannot say -- we'll have to ask John. Seems that latest version of OSX hasn't been out for very long, though, so perhaps that's a clue, too -- maybe something has changed in 10.3.4 that exacerbates problems for his particular machine. -MOonIE At 12:13 PM 6/25/2004 -0700, you wrote: >John, I've seen several of your postings, and I think I recall you're on >Windows, but I can't replicate the problem.
