That’s the envelope tool. Two black arrows and bent line in the tool box.

That gives you the ability to change the volume in a track on a second-by-second basis by clicking and dragging.

Select the “I-Beam” button next to it for regular use.

thank you for the help kozikowski i guess it was just an old audacity thing then because it would be present without using the envelope tool, it was like a db measure for me, i used the lines to monitor audio and not to edit like the envelope tool if you get what i mean. it was ALWAYS on even when i used the selection tool… i accidentally pressed ctr + something and it popped up and i didnt want it gone lol. have a nice sunday! :smiley:

That’s the “Multi-Tool” (F6). See: Multi-Tool - Audacity Manual

AS FUCKING SIMPLE AS THAT… THANK YOU! :smiley:
