There is an Effects/Truncate Silence option which is great to remove unwanted silence from the raw recording. But is there a way to replace the truncated sections back with a default amount of silence, say 1 second? I want to record many sentences (at my own pace) and with arbitrary amounts of "sile...

Great. Glad you guys are on top of it. FYI, for my use case, I am recording each sentence for a training video and the goal is using R then pause to create a clip for each sentence. I intentionally try to stop it at the exact end of the sentence. Then after the recording is complete I insert an exac...

So this is odd. This is the scenario. I press R (reocord), then say 1,2,3, then press space (pause). I can then play this back on my desktop and it will say 1,2,3. I then record the same scenario on two different laptops. During playback, I only hear 1,2 (usually). Sometimes I can get 1,2,3. When I ...

The end goal is to import them into Camtasia (along with pictures of the slides). Camtasia does support that so maybe I don't need to combine them after all. I guess the advantage of combining them was that I could normalize the volume, add effects, specific amount of silence between the slides, etc...

My plan is to make an audacity recording for each slide of a presentation. That way I can break it down into a small, manageable chunk for recording and editing. After that, I want to combine all of those files (maybe 30-40) into a single audacity file. Of course I can do this manually, but is there...

Oh shoot, nevermind..I was looking in the wrong area. I needed look at the transport menu.

A macro will also do exactly what I want via placing the cursor at the end, then selecting the clip prior to cursor, then delete. Then I can assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut.

Works perfect Thanks!

Gotcha, I didn't see the option for the Full keyboard shortcuts at first, but now I found it. But I still need to somehow select the last recorded clip. All of those options only work with the clip position with respect to the cursor...and the cursor does not advance itself so it is at an older posi...

Thanks WC, I have been looking over the shortcuts and the menu picks. But for me, CNTRL+I doesn't seem to do anything. I also don't see that in the Edit/Preferences/Keyboard. I also can't find a menu pick to place the split boundary at the end of the recording...hmmm. But I was thinking, the easiest...

Thanks bud! I appreciate that. But there is something I can't figure out... My process is to use R (record) and then pause (space) for each sentence. So I can see the clips (the most current one being the most relevant), but can't select it with a hotkey. All of the options seem to be related to the...

I am going to make some training videos. During my tests, one thing is really slowing me down, which is deleting the misspoken sentences (lots of those). Is there a way to record a sentence and then accept or reject it in real time? For example, I press record (or hold down a button), say a sentence...
