Audacity Forum

Audacity is a complete slave to the computer sound services. Chances are, if Windows Sound Recorder can see the show, Audacity will be able to see it, too.

<<<overlay and instrumental clip with a vocal clip>>> I'm divining that what you actually want to do is sing over an existing music bed? Splitting a machine like that isn't trivial, but you do need to wade through the basics first. Combining two existing tracks --assuming they're in the same audio s...

<<<Using the "Generate" functions.>>> Since as far as I know all the generate functions are "flat" and don't change over time, you wouldn't need timeline overshoot. Some filters take information from the timeline before they act and extending the selection into blank timeline wou...

So the difference between the expected show duration and the audio playback is the compression. A five second show t...

<<<I took the cursor to the beginning of the h. Then I held down the left button and slid to the k. I double checked that I was in the correct place by playing back just that section. When I was satisfied that I had the right section, I used the "delete" in the edit section.>>> And that di...

<<<If you click on the time line, play should begin without pressing the spacebar.>>>

Oh, yes. I forgot Audacity 1.3 does that. Of course, none of this would be necessary if we could scrub.
