If you still have Audacity open and you saved a Project, then UNDO should bring you back to normal. If you Saved the project and then closed Audacity, the original work is dead. Audacity Projects do not save UNDO. Where did the song come from? Can you acquire it again? You should Save your work as d...

You need to understand we get postings from a very wide variety of users, some of whom know what they're doing and some just took the shrink wrap from their first computer. It's good to know where you are in the firmament. You don't get this? Picture 1.png Audacity 1.3 has that little down arrow to ...

Maybe you're calling a job by its wrong name. Did you really want to "Insert Silence," or did you want to cover up a portion of dialog with silence? What is the exact job, and you don't have to use technical terms. Describe the show. "My mom likes to curse in her dialogs and I have to...
