Effects menu in Audacity not working
Question:
I’ve converted my cassettes to MP3 using Audacity (thank you so much for the advice) but there are a lot of things on the program that it won’t let me access. The ‘effects’ on the drop down menu, such as noise reduction, changing speed etc., won’t highlight/open when I click on them. Nothing highlights. It looks like, since it’s free, the ‘effects’ bonus isn’t included? The same goes for the ff and rewind icons, it won’t do either.
Please let me know if there’s something I can do that will enable these things to work.
Answer:
The Effects menu in Audacity isn’t working? In order to enable Audacity’s Effects menu, you need to have already selected what part of the audio you’d like to modify with an Effect. So first, drag your mouse and select a clip from your audio. Then go back to the Effects menu. I think you’ll find you’ll now have options available.
It looks like, since it’s free, the ‘effects’ bonus isn’t included?
Nope, everything is included. Audacity is 100% free - you download the software, and you get full functionality without any cost.
