Drive permission problem
Re-installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, keeping the old drive partitions (/media/user/drive1 and /media/user/drive2). Given permission to current user with "$sudo chown -R user:user /media/user/drive1" after successful installation. Now some softwares not getting permission to open files from the drive. For eg: cannot open .aup file in audacity, showing 'permission denied to this drive' etc...
Kindly provide a solution.

did you use "user" or your username? When issueing commands like this please usesudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/user/drive1so it is clear you are using your current user ($USER will be translated to your user when you use it but we get the benefit of knowing you used your own username without getting to know it ;) )

I used my user-name instead of '$USER:$USER' like: sudo chown -R mani:mani /media/mani/drive1

You should also set the default permissions on the drive with setfacl:
setfacl -R -m u:$USER:rwX /media/user/drive1
If this isn't exactly what you need, I recommend looking up the man page of the command.
