I'm only voting +1 for the simple and basic core feature, ie. press a key and an incremented numbered label is produced. Which does not solve the request that started this. ;) Simonsmithster wrote: " I wonder is there a function within audacity that would automatically generate and apply a lab...

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Unfortunately not if you are working with mono wav files.
Nyquist is not (yet) able to change the number of channels in an Audacity track. That's the one step of the job that we can't yet do in a Chain.

Is there a way to split a large wav file into segments, but have each segment cut at a break in the sound? Like say I have a 1 hour recording of a pod cast... and I want to cut it into 20 min sections.. or around that size... and when the cut is made it is only made when I am not talking? I know ab...

If not, would you like to suggest alternative wording for the manual here?

is tone generator in Audacity accurate? Yes, very accurate. I mean when I generate sinus/100 Hz - will it generate just 100 Hz signal or 100 Hz + harmonics or other frequencies? Nothing is "perfect", but the error margin is in the order of 0.00000000001%. I can hear other frequencies not ...
