If necessary you can use the Audio Track Dropdown Menu to split the stereo track, then select the part you want to copy in that channel only. Edit > Copy. On your keyboard, ENTER, DOWN arrow, ENTER. Edit > Paste. G...

Re: Local volume adjustment

Since my (simple) suggestion still doesnt seem to have made its way into Audacity 2.1.1, i'm going to ask: is it ever going to be implemented? Highly unlikely, because at least some of the developers are opposed to it. It cant be that hard to make a simple checkbox in the options menu to choose wet...

Re: No Sound

Hi, this is getting too complicated for me. I use Audacity to change the tempo speed for ballroom dancing purposes therefore my other alternative is to 'guess' the change, save the file as a new MP3 file and play it using other software. Repeat the process if the change is not right. Rather than al...
