The menu bar is at the top of the Audacity window. The menu bar is slightly different on Mac, it has an 'Audacity' and 'Window' menu, due to the conventions on that operating system.
The Extra Menu
The Extra Menu
The Audacity menu bar shown above shows an additional optional menu: Extra.
- The Extra menu can be turned on at View > Extra Menus (on/off)or the Interface pane of Preferences.
- The Extra menu adds access to many less frequently used commands. These are particularly useful to visually-impaired or motion-impaired users, but others may find them useful too.
- If you require regular access to just a small set of these extra commands you can set shortcuts for them and leave the extra menu hidden.
