Sorry I forgot to say they require mono tracks.

If this is something that you have recorded then somewhere along the line the signal has been distorted due to something overloading. Try moving further away from the microphone when you record.

In Audacity effects are applied to the audio data immediately when you apply them, so there is no "signal chain" as such.

Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.13 (you can get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ )
For high quality tweaking of the pitch, try the Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift... effect.
You will need to alter the Pitch settings, but keep the tempo settings at zero.

The Time Shift Tool in Audacity 1.3.13 can be used to move audio left/right along the time line.

Topic moved to the Audacity 1.3.x > Windows part of the forum, I have an idea of what you may be seeing but there's a couple of details that I'd like to see. The "rectangular box" is probably the "track", in which case an easy way to make a screenshot is to go to the Help menu in...

In that case could you check what the exact error message is.
(messages about sad children are quite common but I can't think of what the error message about a lot of old ladies would be.)

A possibly quicker way:

Select part of a track then run the following code in the Nyquist Prompt: (this bypasses the need to generate the noise first by generating the white noise in Nyquist).

I'm not sure what you are seeing - are you able to post a screenshot?
