Just use "Edit > Cut" (I think "Command + X" on Mac) rather than "Delete".

When enabled Cut lines should show when you "Cut" audio. Note that "Cut" and "Delete" are different. Cut lines do not appear where audio is "deleted".

One common cause of "crackling" is when the audio level goes above 0 dB. In digital audio* 0 dB is an absolute limit. When two or more tracks play simultaneously, the amplitude is the sum of amplitudes in all tracks at that point. Thus it is easy to cause the peak level to exceed 0 dB when...

There's two parts to this question: 1) the audio format. 2) the media player. MP3 and some other "lossy compression" formats do not define the "encoder delay", which means there is always a bit of silence at the start of the files. This makes gapless playback tricky, but some pla...

In the code that I posted there are 3 "instruments", the buzzing "square" instrument, the whistle-like "triangle" instrument, and the noise based "drum" instrument. These are defined in the functions "square", "saw" and "drum" res...

I am new here and I have absolutely no idea where to post this question. If in doubt, post to the forum relevant to your operating system. For example, for Windows: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=46 Using Audacity I used the Amplify feature under the Effects tab to increase the sound...
