In the audacity.cfg I have for my production work I shorten the long effect menu by disabling all the effects that I don't normally use:

Makes it much easier to work with.

I wish I could've stuck with the 2.0.5 I was using before I updated to Catalina. :( For that you have to blame Apple and not us - as it was them that prevented 32-bit apps from running on Catalina (or Big Sur and onwards). It also annoyingly means I can no longer do Mac QA regression testing back f...

Same problem for me. This version of 2.4.2 is an absolute mess. I was still using 2.0.5 until I updated to Catalina. I wish I could still use the 2.0.5. Never had issues with that version but 2.4.2 doesn't work at all. 2.4.2 worked fine on on Macbook Pro with 10.15.7 Catalina - as did the latest al...

Oooooh... Never noticed "Repair". Thanks. When you use Repair it can be useful to set the Audacity Selection Toolbar format to " Start and Length of Selection " and hh:mm:ss + samples . Just so it's easier to ensure you don't select more than the allowed 128 samples for repair. ...

Come Oooooon New Project format!

Actually I just got lucky realizing I had the file saved on Dropbox, so I could restore an older version that way.

Not just luck - this shows the power of a good backup strategy:

Glad you managed to recover it.

And now with Big Sur macOS 11.0.1 I'm finding that I can drag&drop some AACs from my iTunes library but not all. Very confusing as sometimes I can drag some AACs from an album bit other AACs from the same album don't work - they drag but they don't drop. :? And ones that don't drop into an Audac...
