This is a known issue and is listed in the release notes:

Some interface text or markings remain in black when using High Contrast light-on-dark themes, so cannot be read properly

Unfortunately the only workaround that I know of at present is to use a different desktop theme.

I did a Googl search and found this, here, on this site, from 2013: That was referring to voice recordings for audiobooks, not for music. A-Weighted RMS was intended for measuring low level noise, such as the background hiss created by electronic components in audio circuits. It's not a particularl...

Try the "Bass and Treble" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/bass_and_treble.html Turn the bass down a bit and turn the treble up a bit. Use the "Preview" button to test your settings. If you don't get it right straight away, "Ctrl+Z" to undo. When you've got ...

There are also no gradations for the negative part of the wave. That's a long standing complaint, but unfortunately I think it is hard to fix. If you want to have a go then I can show you where it is in the code, but beyond that I get completely lost. It is not easy code. What I would like is an op...

The "technical" (correct) meaning of "Normalize" is somewhat different. It means setting the "peak level" to a specified level. This is what the Audacity "Normalize" effect does: (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/normalize.html) Unfortunately, the term is ...

The AUP file looks like a perfectly formed empty project.
The log file says that Audacity can't open files in the folder:
C:UsersDKAppDataLocalTempaudacity_temp

Are you logged in as "DK"?
Does that folder exist?
