I have only recently installed Audacity,mainly to edit ripped mp3 .IN several cases I wanted to use a FADE between chapters,but when selectig EFFECTS the dropdown was only grey.I am unable to activate or apply any of the EFFECTS available.What do I need to do to correct this situation?

Select some audio. Audacity effects only work when there is audio selected to work on.

Hallo to everybody,
I have the same problem; the effects menu is not opening even though am playing some audio through Audacity. The audio is a previously recorded file saved on the computer in WAV format. Please advise on how to sort this out.
With Best Regards
Musicfan

In addition to having to select some (or all) of a track, Audacity has to be in stop mode - if the file is playing or is paused, effects are not available. Audacity cannot apply effects in real time.
