But I noticed another bug that must have crept in somewhere (Unfortunately, I can't say when): When you have several tracks you can't apply an effect to one track alone anymore, it's applied to ALL tracks. This goes only for additional effects, the built-in effect (from amplify to wah-wah) still wo...

P.S. I installed Avast, but it insisted on starting with windows, which I DON'T want. Is there a way or running it, only when one wants to? It is possible to set up Avast as an "on demand" scanner only, but I don't remember off hand how to do it. It may be a set-up option, in which case y...

The only reason for connecting the amp to the PC is if the USB does not work correctly. Information about setting up USB turntables for recording in Audacity here: http://auda...

when the web page it is linked to is live on line.

A common reason for that is that the link points to your local file rather than the on-line file.

How very strange. Try this: 1) Close Audacity 2) Open "audacity.cfg" in Notepad You will find the file in: Users<user name>AppDataRoamingAudacity It is a hidden file, so you will need to enable hidden files. 3) Delete everything from the file except for the line: "NewPrefsInitialized=...

I know it will take some time, but could you give us that step-by-step method - I'd like to try and reproduce the problem.
