Re: joining one track to another

One way is to leave the second selection on the second track and use the Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) to push the second one to the right so it doesn't start until after the first one is done.

File > Export and Audacity will smash the two together in the final file.

Re: linking multiple songs back to back

A quick note, Audacity Projects are not sound files. You will get an AUP file which is a Project manager and a _DATA folder with all the sound pieces in it. The only way to get a sound file is to Export one.

Re: linking multiple songs back to back

One way is to import all the songs one after the other. They will appear stacked on top of each other in Audacity. Use the Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) to push the second song so it starts after the first one stops. then push the third one, etc. If you Save that Project, it will appear ju...

Re: a negative frequency

Frequency measures something that happens in time, so you can't have a negative frequency, but sound is vibrations in air, and you can make Audacity produce a sound track with the vibrations backwards.

Select a sound track and Effect > Invert

Re: stereo to mono

Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono.

Re: arrows don't work!

You can select very tiny clips by drag-selecting a portion of the show and zooming in to it with Control-E. If the portion is too big to get on the screen at once, then you can set beginning and end labels and the labels become sticky when you zoom back out, making it easy to select it when you can'...

Re: Sync radio audio broadcast with television video broadca

Latency adjusts the delay that Audacity applies to the show being written to the hard drive. It's purpose is to "tune out" the difference between your old track headphone signals and the creation of the new voice track ( assuming the voice is the new track). It doesn't appear as a live fee...

Re: change dither to none? in quality settings?

I'm wanting the most lossless high quality results as possible...

Re: Filter to improve dry vocals?

You appear to have achieved recording nirvana. Everybody posts about trying to remove room echo from a recording (which you can't do). Adding it is a snap. You can get some depth by making the recording stereo, splitting it and delaying Right with respect to Left. You can also gently add "Effec...
