I'm on W7 and running v 2.1.1 of Audacity - which I accept is probably a very old version now, but it suits my needs and does everything I want.
Only today, I don't appear to be able to get any affect from the reverb option. The audio is of a man speaking. It's nice and clear and was recorded direct into Audacity from a youtube clip. When I apply the reverb effect I do see the profile of the recording change slightly, but when I play it there's absolutely no audible change at all. Even if I use the 'repeat reverb' option, there's still no change. I have room size set to max.
I've used the effect dozens of times in the last week or so, and it's always worked up until now.
Am I missing something? Are only certain types of audio suitable for a reverb effect?
Thanks in advance.

Re: No affect from reverb?
What other settings are you using? Try some "higher" settings.
And, maybe updating will fix your problem.
No, reverb works on everything. The only time you might not notice it is if there is already some reverb and/or if you use a very small amount of reverb.Are only certain types of audio suitable for a reverb effect?
It's easier to get help if you keep up to date. Your reverb effect may be different from the current version... I don't know...running v 2.1.1 of Audacity
And, maybe updating will fix your problem.
Re: No affect from reverb?
Thank you @DVDdoug.
I don't think other settings or not being up to date was the problem. I continued to experiment with other recording in the same session and was able to get the reverb effect as you'd expect.
Oddly, it was just with this one recording I couldn't detect any difference.
