Is this a bug, an unsupported feature or is there some way I can work around this?
If I recall correctly that is an unsupported feature (I'll need to check).

Regarding a workaround, do you have any experience with Python? There's probably a Python solution (again I'd need to check).

Re: Old LADSPA effects?

Those LADSPA effects are obsolete, and many of them have bugs. Personally I use Audacity's built in effects for almost everything and rarely need to use additional plug-ins. There are loads of free VST effects available from KVR Audio . Note that Audacity on Windows currently requires 32-bit plug-in...

Re: compressing cymbols

What sort of "cymbols"?
Do you mean acoustic drum kit cymbals? If so, how have they been recorded? What is your mic set-up?

Re: Export to MP3 timing out?

Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help menu > About Audacity").

How long is the project ?
Where are you exporting to, and what name are you using for the exported file?

Re: Audacity does not record my voice, only the sound of the videos I listen to.

What microphone are you using, and how is it connected to your computer?

Audacity only records inside my screen
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Do you mean that Audacity only records sounds that are playing on your computer?
What are you trying to record?

Re: How to open a file without hours and hours of nothing appearing after it.

I'm not sure what you mean. When I import an audio file into an empty project in Audacity 2.4.2 on macOS, the zoom level is automatically adjusted so that the audio fits in the window:

I dropped my headset on the ground yesterday. Today i tried to record audio in Audacity and it sounds kind of muffled
Try listening to some music that you are familiar with. Does that also sound muffled?
If so, you may have damaged the headphones rather than the mic.
