Is Playback "Paused"?
Effects are only available when "Stopped" (not Play, Pause or Record).

I see your point PGA. My "Swiss Army Knife" does not have one of those things for de-scaling fish and it doesn't have one of those things for getting stones out of horses hooves, but it fits neatly in my pocket and it's still a useful tool that does many useful tasks. On the other hand, it...

I agree with PGA that using three separate Audacity Projects is an over-complicated method that can easily go wrong (as it did), but PGA missed that you are using Audacity 1.2.x, which is the cause of the "wrong speed" problem. Audacity 1.2.x is very old and is due to become officially obs...

Which exact version of Audacity are you using? (the full 3 part number as shown in "Help > About Audacity")

What do you have selected in the Device Toolbar and what other options are available?

Someone at another forum told me I should actually increase latency to reduce the clipping?? Either they were talking rubbish, or you misunderstood them. Increasing latency will do nothing to reduce clipping. Latency and clipping are unrelated. Which model "EV condenser mic"? What are you...

As none of you have said which version of Audacity you are using, I'd advise you all to update to Audacity 1.3.14 (Unicode) which you can get from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ As you all have different problems, but all related to incorrectly or badly functioning sound systems on your com...

The yellow line does not indicate that the track is "selected". The yellow line indicates that it is the "current track", or in technical terms, it is "the track that has focus". When audio is selected, it is "highlighted" with a darker colour. If you press th...
