If the project has a lot of tracks, "Fit Vertical" will shrink the tracks down so that the pan/gain sliders and mute/solo buttons are hidden. Also the waveform is so small that it is near impossible to draw an envelope. Because the track height is "shrunk" (rather than "coll...

WAV-Format after use Chain (ExportToWAV): Bitrate= 128kBit/sec 8Bit/Mono/8KHz/PCM That does not make sense - where do you see that? PCM audio is uncompressed audio, so the bit rate can be calculated as: <bits per sample> x <number of channels> x <samples per second> For 8 bit mono 8 kHz, that works...

What is happening is that you don't have any VST effects, but Audacity cannot tell the difference between a VST effect and a LADSPA effect until it has scanned the .dll files. As it finds no VST effects, it will look again next time that you restart Audacity. If it finds a VST effect then it will st...

And I prefer (b) for Audacity. I don't have strong opposition to (b). I consider it to be a "detail" of implementation that we can decide on later (with developer input regarding the practicalities of coding it). The main idea that I'm enthusiastic about is that of adding a Master Track/M...

The affect you are after is reverberation and/or echo. See here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/h ... on_or_echo

I can look into this.
What exactly is in the Chain and what settings do those effects have?
Which version of Windows?
Anything else I need to know to reproduce the issue?

0.1 seconds selected at the beginning of the word "kiss".
3 repeats.
0.12 seconds delay time.

Do other DAW's not keep the Master Fader Track always on screen? No, and people don't generally have a problem with that. Mixing is usually done from their "Mixer Board" view. Possibly you could even "mute" (disable) the envelope temporarily. That can be done within Bill's propo...

Audacity uses the Windows sound system. Other DAWs often use "ASIO" which is another separate sound system (the "buffer settings" are for ASIO). If there were any changes to the Windows sound system then it would not affect ASIO. Unfortunately Audacity cannot ship with ASIO suppo...

Audacity does not support VSTi (VST Instruments).
