See here for splitting track...

A new, and long awaited enhancement for Nyquist plug-ins has recently been added to the Audacity 2.0.7 source code. Nyquist "process" type plug-ins may now have a Preview button. This is "breaking news", so may be subject to change. Preview cannot be expected to work correctly fo...

They must not at any time click on Big Download Buttons because those will probably be advertisements for products that contain malware. Or at least, they will not be downloading Audacity. I think that is a bit strong. I'd say "do not click on Big Download Buttons because those will not be dow...
