Weirdly though, it also does this using default compressor too. Check that the track does not start before time=0. There's a bug that occurs in the built-in compressor when it is applied to audio that is in "negative time". For Nyquist plug-in effects, there's a bug in Audacity 3.0.0 that...

Just one little thing, every time I start Audacity I must drag it to my main screen. Are you talking about physical display monitors, or virtual desktops? I've just tested with Audacity 3.0.0 on Xubuntu 20.04 LTS (and Windows 10) with two physical monitors. Audacity is reliably opening on the displ...

What's your OS?

The "Unable to parse project information" error has been identified in FreeBSD and fixed in the development code: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/co ... 269677f496

As for the debug log: How can I enable that? There's not currently much debug information relating to the database. To access the Audacity log: "Help menu > Diagnostics > Show Log" More debug information is available when launching a Debug build from a Terminal, but still not much re. the...

What are you recording from?
Unless you are recording sounds playing on the computer, you can bypass Pulse by selecting the "hw" option in the Device Toolbar that corresponds with your recording device.

Fwiw, this is my pulseaudio daemon.conf ; daemonize = no ; fail = yes ; allow-module-loading = yes ; allow-exit = yes ; use-pid-file = yes ; system-instance = no ; local-server-type = user ; enable-shm = yes ; enable-memfd = yes ; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usua...

I had tried using Stereo Tools plug

What's that plug-in? Is it a ".ny" plug-in?

the thing is that VST_PATH should be independant variable setting any custom folder - but it doesn't work, audacity doesn't detect plugs via this system wide variable set. Yes Audacity "should" find VST plug-ins that are in the VST Path (when they are supported plug-ins). I'm not able to ...

Check what other apps are running. There may be another app fighting for control of the sound card (voip apps are infamous for doing this, but even web browsers can cause this type of problem sometimes).
