When I open Audacity (2.1.3. version with Windows 7) it automatically opens with two tracks and a yellow border surrounding the tracks and greyed out.
Previously, I could open Tracks ->Add new → Stereo Track and open a single track without it being greyed out and no yellow border.
Can someone provide a clear and simple explanation that I can follow to deselect the yellow border as I am still learning the system.
I’ve read some of the previous posts but I am not sure how it applies to this situation as I tried them and the yellow border still remains, not sure what I clicked on to arrive at this.
The current version of Audacity is 2.3.0. It’s available via the Audacity website: Audacity ® | Downloads
Do you mean like this (below). If so, then that is normal. This yellow border has been a thing for a very long time. It just indicates which is the “current” track, or in Audacity-speak, it’s the track that has “focus”.
Tracks grayed out may be due to having a “Mute” button pressed on the track. (see: Audio Tracks - Audacity Manual)
If that’s not it, please post a screenshot to show what it looks like.
Whenever I open up a new track instead of the one track ( like yours that you showed)
it opens up two tracks with the yellow border every time. (yellow border doesn’t show up here)
I just installed the latest version 2.1.3/ Windows 7.
