Your very welcome Michal, i hope you get back to your smooth musical journey just making your great music without any annoying interruptions, i feel what you said 🙏

I think that bottleneck was the key word. It helped me realize that all wavs were being played from external magnetic hard drive via usb. I usually have all projects for Cakewalk or Ableton Live on my SSD. No issues there. It was a different scenario only for Audacity. Thanks again.

Also, turning off oversampling in all plugins until final export, close all other apps, most likely there are more things to consider too

Thanks for checking :-) Then I know

Your welcome Michal, thats not ideal if you have decent and old audacity projects
If you haven’t already, try these
Whatever DAW you use, each will help a little at a time to reduce overall strain on the computer

Maybe increase buffer size
I’m not sure if you tried this or how your working, but increasing buffer size means increasing latency / delay

Use an external disk / flash drive / sd card to store projects and open them from there
Doing this reduces disk bottlenecks between the os and DAW / audio files being accessed at the same time (at least on magnetic hd)

A few other things that will help in any DAW (just in case you didn’t try these already)

Turn off track inputs while their not in use

Remove silence in long audio clips

If your not able to “freeze” tracks, its not ideal, but you could export Groups of 2 or 3 tracks together as one wav file and then import them into a second project (use highest export quality)

I hope it helps, beat wishes 🙏

Okay, the demo limitations on the Nemesis: no saving, time limited, and some features can’t be used. So I was talking nonsense. :)

Hi, I tried it on Warlock and could not detect any audio dropouts or periodic noise. Even the controller settings were still there after reopening the project in Live Suite as VST3. That’s why I think it won’t really be different in Nemesis.

Thank you for the suggestion. I figured that the problem occurs, when have multiple wav files open in the project. As soon as I exceed let’s say 10 wavs, Audacity needs to buffer mid-playback. Then I can easily hear my hard drive working harder. I always play only one file in solo, but the problem is still there. This doesn’t happen if I operate on a single wav per project. That’s why Wavosaur always seemed smooth regarding playback. It couldn’t play more than a single file at a time.

No. Still free until 31st May. https://quietmusic.eu/healing-2-instrument

Hey Michal, you could backup your aup project files and reinstall audacity, or try starting your computer in “safe mode”
Open audacity and close it again after a min or two without trying to use it (most likely audacity / audio won’t work in safe mode anyway because of the nature of safe mode), then restart your computer normally again, see if that helps ?
I had troubles before with apps, like ableton live @white screen” and the safe mode process fixed my issue, just a thought 🙏

Thanks for reminding me about this program. Wavosaur hasn’t been stable in the past, but based on how many features have been implemented I will give it a try. Especially since I keep having playback issues with Audacity. It keeps buffering every 10-15 seconds. Very annoying.
