That illustration was of a single, simple sound track. If yours is more complex with tracks stacked vertically, etc, then it's going to be a little harder.

It is a little magic. If you want a Project of only 24 seconds, you can drag-select everything else, everything over 24 seconds and Delete (Attach 1). Then Save Project. Scroll the graphic to see the whole thing. If you want to Export just 24 seconds, drag-select the desired 24 seconds and Export Se...

You're stuck.

People still do this for a reason.



Very few people get good recordings from the back of the hall. There are no good echo and reverb tools.

What version is your Audacity? Audacity will try to export The Whole World unless you select something and Export Selected. The only way to get straight, plain Export to be the desired 24 seconds is for there to be nothing else at all on the timeline except that 24 seconds. A Project will contain al...

I'm not saying movie effects aren't loud. There's a saying, "When your movie is in trouble, blow something up." I've taken that to heart. The reason I bring up Dolby is the design center of being able, given a good sound system, to directly recreate a jet taking off, a thermo-chemical expl...

Sometimes you can do that by accident. Windows machines don't normally create multiple different sound pathways and Audacity doesn't, either. It's the main reason Audacity doesn't get along with Skype and Games. If the job lends itself to two-pass recording, that's the way. Record the computer parts...

Did you look at the page DVDdoug posted?
