Please tell me there is a way to undo this particular setting.
Sorry, there isn't.

Do you recall which version of Audacity you were using previously?

I had this problem and I found out that it only happens when there are tracks layered with different sample rates in the same window.
Perhaps you were using an old version of Audacity. I don't see this problem with the current Audacity 2.4.2.

Re: unrecoverable error....

Since the latest Big Sur update a couple of days ago Audacity won't open at all having worked perfectly (more or less) for the last few months. That sounds like it could be related to this bug: https://www.timesnownews.com/technology-science/article/apple-addresses-macos-big-sur-issue-with-upcoming...

Re: Clean up old computer audio cassette

Is there a guide somewhere for making custom filter curves? Not that I know of, but the format is simple. I'm assuming that you are using the current Audacity 2.4.2. Read this first about managing presets: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/manage_presets.html This is the "Bass Boost" fa...

Re: Hearing other person on therapy recording session

I hoped Audacity would do the trick! Why not? The OBS Studio developers put all their time and effort into producing an app for video recording and live streaming. The Audacity developers put all their time and effort into producing an app for multi-track audio editing and processing. Both applicat...

Re: noise reduction issue

Some effects only work in hardware memory and run out of zot (technical term) if the show is too long and doesn't fit. That can be a problem with some Nyquist plug-ins, but there are no recorded cases of that with built-in effects (other than "Repair" which has a 128 sample limit). Built-...

When I click F1, a new window opens which links to how to access help in Windows 10. Nothing changes in Audacity. I am still in the zoom toolbox.
Then click on the "selection Tool" button.

How can I see the actual settings for each track?
Tracks don't have EQ settings. When you apply an effect in Audacity it is applied immediately to the audio in that track and modifies the audio. With many of the effects you can actually see the waveform change.

Re: Starting a recording sometimes scrolls and other times not

Thanks a lot Steve, I'm pleased to say this works Super :D For me the option to "Listen to this device" was buried a bit deeper in the Sound control panel. For me it was "Recording tab/enable Stereo Mix/ Properties/Listen tab and then I could select Listen to this device As I said, I...
