Alternatively, if the leading silence is not "absolute" but just "very very quiet", you could automate trimming the silence with this plug-in: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqu ... im_Silence

When aligning tracks together, it is the start of the track audio that is aligned. Flat-line "silence" is valid audio, just as much as wiggly line audible sound. Example before alignment: tracks000.png Example after alignment: tracks001.png If you wish the align the "start of the audi...

Try holding down the Shift key, then "right click" on the vertical ruler on the left end of the track.

I am in Audacity 2.1.2. That's ancient. The current version is 2.3.0 and is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ I suspect that the problem is that you have accidentally enabled "Sync-Lock". If I recall correctly, 2.1.2 had a "clock"...

Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity") I am in permanent "Control Shift K" What does that mean? without having to "Control Shift K" every single time? Does pressing "Control Shift K" get you out of being in permanent "Control Shift K...
