The instructions vary depending on which version of Audacity you are using and which operating system. Example of an Audacity version: "Audacity 1.3.13 (Unicode)" You can find the version number by looking in the Help menu > About Audacity. Example of an operating system: "Windows Vis...

i just need a sequencer, But that's the point I'm trying to make. Audacity is not a sequencer it is an audio recorder, player and editor. Until you have "sound" (audio), Audacity is no use whatsoever. "Master Keyboards" are not designed to make sound, they are designed to make M...

Is Audacity playback "Paused"? Effects are not available during Play, Record or Pause. Audacity must be in "Stop mode". If that is not the problem, try this and tell us what happens: 1) Open Audacity (if Audacity is already open, close it and restart). 2) From the Generate menu, ...

See how it levels off? No idea what that means nor how to stop it. That is caused by something overloading. If you zoom in really close into the waveform you will probably see that the waveform is flattened at the top/bottom of the peaks. If this only happens with the 20 dB boost enabled, then the ...

(not fade in or out gradually but wholly switch instantly from side to side) You can do that without plug-ins. 1) Convert the track to mono (Tracks menu > Stereo Track to Mono) 2) Create a new empty (mono) audio track (Tracks > Add New > Audio Track) The upper track is going to be your left channel...

Do you know what sort of sound card you have? For many on-board sound cards (often "RealTek" or "SigmaTel") there is a separate control panel for the sound card. If there is, then you may need to enable the back line-in socket in that control panel. Have close a look at all of th...
