Some menu items are grayed out or disabled until they are ready for use. Before choosing an effect, you must select the audio that you want to change. To select audio, click and drag with the Selection tool to highlight it, or choose the “Select All” command from the Edit menu.
Also, many menu items are disabled while playing, recording, or pausing a track. To enable them, press the yellow Stop button.
