This is easier to do in 1.3 than in 1.2 - as in 1.3 you get a little yellow vertical alignment bar on the track when the track boundaries are moved close togetther - plus you get a snap-to effect which helps too.

MNS,

please don't double post: it only wastes people's time and annoys them - and it doesn't get your problem answered any quicker. See my response to your same posting in the other thread.

I have no practictical experience of tis , but I seem to remeber from reading earlier postings that you can do this in Audacity by adding a Time Track to your recording Tracks > Add New > Time Track . Sorry I can't actually advise how to manipulate it - try searching the forum and theWiki for "...

On 1.2 the preferences are held in the windows registry - so resetting can be tricky if you don't like editing the registry (I don't!). It's easier in 1.3 as the preferences are set per user and are held in and audacity.cfg file - so resettting is done in 1.3 by just removing this file. See this pag...

Indeed poor you with Vista - I insisted that Dell "downgraded" my new laptop to XP-Pro ! I therefore have no experience with vista but you may find help on these pages from the Audacity Wiki: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_Vista_OS http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.p...

Not saving the projects and just exporting to .aiff is perfectly ok (I would make a backup copy of the .aiff files on a separate external drive for safety). I am not a Mac user - but on Windows I have tended to manage the editing of the metadata tags through Windows Exporer after exporting - I assum...
