Effects Menu Problem -- a different one!

Post by gnat01 » Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:32 pm

Hi all!
Audacity newbie here so please excuse the elementary question!

I get a greyed out Effects menu even after selecting some audio (using Edit, Select, All for example). Also, the Generate and Analyze menus are greyed out too. Any solution to this problem?

Thanks!
G

Are you in Pause mode when trying to apply an effect? Playback must be stopped before selecting a section or track and applying an effect.

Thanks, that worked! I did have to STOP the playback completely, but now can use all the menus properly.

Cheers,
