however, I don'tquite have a grasp of how the time shift (or slider or whatever it is called) works differently than in 1.2.x It's not so much the "Time Shift Tool", but the whole way that Audacity 1.3 handles audio clips compared to v.1.2.. In v.1.3 moving, copying, pasting pieces of aud...

That's a shame - v.1.3.4 runs great on my xubuntu machine. As a matter of interest, have you had any joy using JACK with Audacity?

I think this problem is just in v.1.3.3 and is fixed in v.1.3.4
v.1.3.4 is available as a deb file for easy installation.

Audacity v.1.3 is better for this kind of thing. Use the "Time Shift Tool" from the toolbar to slide your clips along their track. Use one track for each audio clip, then you can drag each to the exact position that you want it. You can start recording at a specific time in the track by cl...

Just to let you know that I was able to do the noise reduction on this large file, if I did it in three sessions, and by saving and closing Audacity after each session. Not good, but O.K When you close Audacity, it will delete the temporary files, thus freeing up space on your hard drive which can ...
