One of my habits I like to do is walking/running around randomly while speaking what’s currently on my mind as if I’m making a YouTube video/streaming

(responds chat member from my mumbling about why I hate Audacity 3.x) Gilbert, use Tenacity.

I did use Tenacity once, but I didn’t use it a lot since it doesn’t save Audacity 2 project files, which is what I want really; it’s more robust.

Also, I found it to be as unstable than Audacity 3, so that’s more reason why I don’t use it often.

On the topic of project files, in my experience, Audacity 3 projects like to corrupt themselves. When Audacity tells something like “the disk is full” even though it’s not, it’s game over for that project. Any attempt for recovery is futile; I’ve tried several and none worked. I had so many projects lost like that and I’m just fed up with Audacity 3 now.

I think the problem is with the filesystem, because when I tried to delete the file, the OS complains about some IO error or something. Probably because I’m storing my projects in an external hard drive formatted with NTFS. I’ve considered changing it to exFAT, but I had to eat some brave pills for that since there’s 800 GBs worth of files and I don’t have another hard drive as a buffer in case something goes wrong.

(responds chat member) Gilbert, why not use EXT4?

So I can read it from Windows. Sure, I use Linux, but the others use Windows and that’s not changing anytime soon.
