Well this is puzzling... Yes your screenshot does indeed show that the audio is properly selected - and thus the edit commands should become available to operate on the selected audio - but I see from the screenshot that they are greyed out. I just tested this in my old copy of 1.2.4b Audacity on my...

Are sure that you have actually selected some audio - it should be highlighted as dark grey background in the track panel with the blue waveforms.

Just as a test try selecting the whole project by using CTRL+A - do the Edit menu items become available for use and not greyed-out then?

You are plugging the turntable to the USB port on your computer and powering the turntable up before firing up Audacity are you? Are you sure that the USB cable and connectors are ok? Can you try with a different USB cable - one which you know works? Can you try using a different USB port, or gently...

The Envelope tool is the icon with two white triangles pointing to a little white dot with a blue line passing through. With this tool...

I do not know if this is recoverable - I don't have experience of how to fix this. Hopefully someone else will happen along soon who can advise on this. So in the mantime don't move, delete or rename anything. For future use I would recommend to sticking to standard alphanumeric characters and under...

Yes, to make a CD you should have files that are exported at 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM stereo (this is part of the Red Book standard for CDs). You can continue to work in Audacity in 96k 32-bit float - just do the downsampling on Export from Aucaity by selecting the correct Export format that you need. Aud...
