That selections from the effect-menu are taking about 3 seconds too long to appear may be a clue : the delay could be in the GUI ...
When using "Ctrl"+"R" there is no change in the GUI, and there is no delay in the effect being applied.

Does this only occur when the track spectrogram view is selected? No, it happens on waveform display too. I just used spectrogram display because it is better at showing that the equalization had changed. If this problem is specific to the Vista version of Windows just forget about it : Vista is on...

... I want to change the standard that the transposing tools work on from A440 to A444 ... One of Audacity's two pitch-shift tools [ #1 , #2 ] can make that 1% change. However I'm not sure it will be worth the effort (or the inevitable digital-artifacts) : the resolution of human-hearing is about 4...

...What about importing into iTunes, making up some playlists and giving them all the files on a flash drive? That way, at least they could listen with an iPod and a speaker. A 4GB flash drive could store 50 hours if you converted the WAV files to MP3 , which you can do with Audacity . If you keep ...

The "first half" file on my hard disk is about 700MB. The disk capacity of the CD-R that I have is slightly over 800MB. It doesn't take a math major to see that this isn't going to work, not unless I want to end up with 50 or so CD's making up my collection of these old broadcasts. That's...
