In the meantime, is it a problem with storing the information in the macro, or is it a problem with the Limiter plug-in? The problem is that the settings in the Macro are not getting sent to the plug-in, so the plug-in runs with it's last used settings (or it's default settings if not previously ru...

I think I have it attached now.

It seems not.
See the instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936

I was thinking that this might be an Ubuntu Studio issue, so I installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04. I ran into a couple of snags during the oh-so-slow installation, including the initial run of Software Updater hanging on snapd , but eventually I got it completed.

Unfortunately this is a bug in Audacity 2.4.1 and it affects all Nyquist effects when used in Macros. Audacity 2.4.2 alpha includes a fix for this, but is not available yet. A release candidate (RC) for 2.4.2 is likely to become available within the next week or two (subject to no serious bugs being...

Do you mean "side" rather than "site"?

If so, ensure that your microphone is plugged into input 1 of the Scarlett, and set Audacity to record "1 channel (mono)" in the Device Toolbar. That should fix the problem.

An alternative way to repair, which may be more effective, is to run the Notch Filter over the audio twice; first with the frequency set to 60 Hz, then again with the frequency set to 120 Hz.

Have I got this right: You were previously using Audacity 2.3.3 on Pop_OS 20.04 (based on Ubuntu 20.04) and it worked fine. Then, without knowingly making any changes (other than routine updates), a problem (black track panel area) appeared in Audacity 2.3.3. You tried updating Audacity with the Fla...
