Perhaps I should uninstall Audacity and reinstall? Maybe try the new version 3.0? What do you think? I don't think that will make any difference. I don't think that Audacity is the problem. I'm confused by your description of the problem. When I go to the Windows Sound Control Panel, I did have to ...

However, when I then open Audacity and click the meter to monitor - and also if I try to record a stereo track, there is no reading it all from guitar strumming and no sound at all when I play the track - flat line and dead silence. Check that you have the USB device selected as the recording input...

When I play guitar, which passes through the MXR Clone Looper pedal through the amp to the Behringer UM2 audio interface box then to the laptop running Audacity recording software, I get the guitar signal and it records just fine. If you turn down the recording level on the UM2 for the guitar input...

I think it would be helpful if somebody add to manual some words about Close command not suitable for macros. Most people would probably not use the "Close" command because it isn't in the Macro Editor. If I recall correctly there's a few other commands that are excluded from the Macro Ed...

Glad that you fixed the problem

While I don't want to risk it, I think this could potentially be what I posited in my first post. But I don't want to risk it.

That's probably it, but easier / safer to just reset the whole lot if you don't mind resetting all of the effects.
Let us know how you get on.

I'm also hesitant to do trial-and-error in this file, as trial-and-error is what put me in this position to begin with. Very wise. "pluginregistry.cfg" and "pluginsettings.cfg" are NOT intended for humans. They are intended only for internal use by Audacity. Something that you c...

Another strange question - why there is an Open project command in the macro command list? What for? It's probably not very useful for using in Macros, but the commands are not only for Macros. They are also for controlling Audacity from an external applications (see: https://manual.audacityteam.or...

the Audacity Manual wrote: there must be a selection region in all the tracks you want to time shift, and you must drag from inside the selection region in one of those tracks. This seems to imply that you can only Time Shift a selected region, but is this the intent? Is it valid to shift a track y...

I'm not sure what your question is. Is that your video, or are you trying to follow what someone else is demonstrating?
What exactly are you trying to do?
