Need to retrieve original window for recording OS Sequoia 15

The first time audacity3.6.4. opened, the all black background window was super intuitive with words and simple fields to follow. The first recording was easy and successful. When it opened tonight, for my 2nd recording, that window was gone.

The new window is all icons and drop down menu. Very hard to navigate. Also, when I tried a test recording, it seemed to record, but I can’t replay it to hear it.

I want the original recording window to open again, but I don’t know where it went??
