Audacity Forum

Is this with all VST effects, or just with some VST effects?

Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in "Help > About Audacity")
Which version of Windows?
Which VST effects are you using?

I think I also did not understand claerly the use of the word 'track' in the manual. That is a real problem for the people writing the documentation. They try their best to make it clear. There are CD tracks, Audacity audio tracks, multiple "tracks" on an album even if it plays as one con...

It is not yet specified but I assume the default "preset" is the one at the top "none selected"; if so, this is inconvenient for people who want to use the presets, If there are, say, 14 presets (as previously suggested), then if we pick any one of the presets as the default, th...

2 choices come to mind:
1) Find another effect that does not do that.
2) Add some padding (just a bit of silence would do) before applying the effect, then trim the track to the correct size after applying the effect.

Thanks - I see the problem, well a few things really... First a small point: Open Audacity File – New You don't need to select "File > New". When Audacity is opened it is a new project by default. If you then select "File > New" you now have 2 open projects. The thing that is cau...

To make it convincing, the task is mostly about acting skills. For the effect part, try using the "leveller" effect to add some distortion (set to a "heavy" setting), then use the "telephone" preset in the Equalization effect. You may be able to get some ambient "a...

If the audio is already at the specified peak level, or if "Normalize maximum amplitude" is not selected, then there will be no audible change.
