Aha! Thanks, Steve. That was the missing piece. For anyone else who comes across this post, here's the step-by-step: Audacity 2.3.2 CREATE MACRO: Tools | Macros | New enter name of macro [for example: red] with name selected, click Insert under Choose Command, choose Set Track Visuals upper right ha...

I know the answer must be obvious, I really am trying to understand.

When I saved the mp3 file in Audacity, then saved the tags in Easytag, the sound engineer says it works just fine. Any idea...

I appreciate the detailed instructions - I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks. I was able to install QjackCtl without any troubles, but nothing shows up under connect. I tried it while Audacity was recording, and while it wasn't.
