Describe the bug
Many Nyquist plug-ins will fail or may be sluggish if the track selection is too long, or could cause Audacity to crash. This is because the maximum selection length is limited by the amount of available ram, up to a maximum of 2 GB. '''Workaround:''' Unless you know that a particular Nyquist plug-in is safe to use with long selections, do not select more than about 1 hour of audio (44100 Hz sample rate) at a time. For higher sample rates the limit is proportionally less. If necessary, apply the effect to sections of 1 hour or less.
