I recorded something but I was away for about 30 min, and if I save it as is, it would save a whole bunch of blank recording. (I was recording somebody talking but forgot about stopping the app even after the person had stopped talking.) What would be the best way to delete the huge portion of the r...

It is a folder with the same file name as the .aup file except it has _data attached to the end of it.

stop recording after an hour?

I keep forgetting to turn it off.

What can Audacity do that other recording applications cannot?

...choose where to listen from wherever in the recording? Right now I can only see a segment of few seconds, so that I can start listening from only that portion.

I did that on Mac and it suddenly played back a second of what I just recorded as I was recording.

Thank you. How do the same on Mac?

When I press record again it seems to record on a different track from the beginning, and then when I play back it plays both recordings at the same time.

Is there any other programs you know of that would record both for not only Skype but for anything?

For example if you want to record a Skype conversation, and would like to record both what you say and what you hear on your headset, how do you do it?
