Hi Audacity,

I am using windows 7. 32 bit home premium at church, and windows 10.
64 bit at home.

On the Windows 10 computer, I have found the Leveler tool in the
disabled list, and when I click on it, to enable it, it doesn't show
up in the effects tool list, so I am unable to use it.
I have found the cross fade tools in the new list and they enabled OK
though.

On the Windows 7 computer, after the up grade to 2.1.3 I seem to have
lost the Leveler tool and the cross fade tools all together, and they
don't show-up in any of the plug-in lists.

Also on an other tangent, on the windows 7 Church computer I upgraded
the USB audio interface from a Cakewalk UA-1G to a PreSonus AudioBox
iTwo, and that works well, but now when i am editing in Audacity I get
a small short burst of static every time I click on the play button,
any ideas why?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sincerely, Dan Andrews

The Leveller effect has been removed because it creates distortion.
If you actually want a distortion effect, use the new "Distortion"
effect (it includes presets identical to the old Leveller effect).
If you actually want to even out fluctuations in amplitude without
creating distortion, use the new "Limiter" effect.

You will find details of both of these new effects in the manual:

Thanks Steve,

At least now I know, why I couldn't get the Leveler to work, I'll have
to see if I can learn how to use the Limiter tool.

Thanks again, All the Best, Dan
