What is reset
Preferences
Using Reset Configuration will reset all your Audacity Preferences settings to their default "factory settings".
Toolbars
Using this command will reset all your toolbars to their default "factory settings": sizing, positioning and settings. This is analogous to using .
- Tools toolbar: reset to "I-beam" Selection tool
- Meter toolbars: recording and playback meters are both reset to Gradient style, dB type and Automatic orientation
- Device toolbar: this is reset to the default Host with the default Recording and Playback devices for your computer - and reset to 2-channel stereo
- Selection toolbar: reset to show Start and End of Selection and time format reset to hh:mm:ss + milliseconds
- Snap-To is reset to be "off"
- Project Rate is left unaltered (but the default project rate in Preferences will have been reset to the default 44100 Hz, so will change to that on your next relaunch of Audacity)
- Time toolbar: resets the time format to hh:mm:ss
The sliders for levels in Mixer toolbar and the speed in the Play-at-Speed toolbar are left untouched.
