There is a VST plug-in (I think it is available for Windows only) called ExtraBoy that claims to be able to do this sort of thing http://www.elevayta.net/product13.htm ExtraBoy is a commercial product, but if you have a Windows machine available to use there is a 14 day demo available that you could...

You're very welcome Charlie.
A glass of fine wine and good music - now there's a nice combination

I quite agree about not being obsessive about numbers, but my passion (and some might say obsession ) is with sound, music and what I hear. If you are not able to hear a -50 dBfs broadband hiss through a little bit of vinyl crackle, then it doesn't matter and we can agree to differ.

I'm not sure if you wanted to move all but the latest recorded track to right? I was assuming that the new track had not yet been recorded, but yes, tracks can be selected/deselected at will using the up/down arrows and Enter key, or Shift+click on the track info box (taking care not to accidentall...

(F1 key to go back to the normal selection tool) Audacity 1.3.12 has many other improvements over the old 1.2.6 ve...

Yes, the PhonoPlus V.2 does have a switch on the front panel, labeled as "Line In" and "Phono". It is set to "Phono" I think that's actually a different switch to what waxcylinder was asking about. Some phono pre-amps have an additional switch which the PhonoPlus v.2 d...

Thanks Gale. I think it also serves as a simple demonstration of how the output of an effect (process) plug-in need not be tied to the length of the selection. The code for this plug-in is essentially just one line: (stretch-abs gap (force-srate *sound-srate* (s-rest 1))) where "gap" is th...
