Re: [Audacity-devel] Audacity Crashes on Normalize

[Rocco C. <roc...@sy...>]

Hi Dominic

Well I did a mistake and didn't keep a copy once I got it working.

I can tell you that the area that looked like that source was a bad 
humming when a MIC recording started. I will get a new recording and see 
if I can reproduce.

What I think I did was first perform a noise removal and then a 
normalize. Listening to the current exported wav, I can faintly hear 
some digital noise in the newly created file. This noise is in the 
entire portion that I think was responsible for the crashing. I only 
heard this digital noise when I listened to a CD of the recording on my 
sound system (my PC audio is not loud enough). So could it be the noise 
removal that sets up the problem with normalize, that is a good 
question. If you are interested in this "other" problem, the file is 
currently 11MB, but I could make it smaller. I can FTP to anywhere you 
would like it.

I will do my best to reproduce the original problem.
