Whenever I am ripping if I am using a web browser at the same time, what happens is audacity stops recording as though someone had hit the "stop" button. It does not hand or anything, and I can hit "record" again and it goes (but it still screws up my rip of course)
Control problem.
Then when I am done of that an processing, a really simple one. I zoom into the area between songs then I want to play that short clip to see exactly where one song ends and the other begins, and maybe figure out whether there is a few seconds of silence I can cut out. So I hit "play" and then when I hit "stop" at the other end, it hangs solid and eventually gives me the option to kill or wait. I kill it. That one can sometimes happen the very first thing into audacity before I've done any other editing.
I have done that and not had a problem. Again this is a control problem - something bad happens in the control of the program.
I am using regular Ubuntu not studio.
So that would be the new (still experimental IMO) unity desktop with it's ever changing interface that is slowly moving from X to MIR. You don't have to use studio, but have you tried xubuntu or kubuntu? Both of these desktops seem to have no problems with audacity. Studio, which I am using uses XFCE and kubunu, which my wife uses, is KDE. My wife uses audacity as her "DAW" :) so she has done lots of starts and stops with no problem.
Also look for the next release of audacity in the next month or so. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
