I am new to this and its driving me NUTS. Seem like every time I start Audacity, I get a different result. I seem to be recording OK but I get no sound on playback. Have before; can't now.

It's normal operating system behaviour (Windows and Linux/GNOME anyway) that if "recent files" extends past the right of the screen space, its list extends downwards (so covering some or all of the current menu) if there is also insufficient space to left of the current application to fit ...

With the Hard Limiter (Ladspa effect), I tend to keep the "residual" level set at around 0.3 as this helps to prevent the effect from being too harsh. The Wet level should normally be set at 1, and the dB limit adjusted to produce the required amount of "soft clipping". There's ...
