I am creating a new chain. I Add Normalise (default) and then Compressor (default) without any problems.
When I select Equalisation and click “Edit Paramters” I get the attached bug error report - which I have submitted, and then Audacity closes down on me.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or is this a general bug with Audacity and I cannot use Equalisation in my chains until this is fixed?
It’s a bug but not a “general bug”. It’s a bug in the Equalization effect. it should be fixed in the next Audacity release.
If you really must have the Equalization effect in a chain and can’t wait for Audacity 2.1.2 to be released, you could use Audacity 2.1.0.
A workaround to use EQ in a Chain in 2.1.1 would be to use Save/Manage Curves… in the Equalization effect to save the curve you want to use as a named curve.
Then change “Equalization:CurveName” in the file for your Chain at Users<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\Chains to the required curve name.
If you cannot see the required “Audacity” folder, type
