On Mac, Cmd+M is the system-wide "minimize window" command, so on Mac the Audacity command for "Add Label at Playback Position" is Cmd+<period>. Yes, Koz, I'd love to have hot keys for "In" and "Out" as well, but this user wants multiple In and Out points whil...

Thanks Bill, I had a panic for a second because I googled it and found someone's answer saying that you couldn't get them back together once you'd broken the link. But you can and I did, thanks!

Hi WC, Thanks for the reply. I don't think I was very clear when I explained what I was trying to do. But first off, these are not songs, they are long lectures already in WAV format that I import into an audaicty track. Secondly, most of the time, I am editing and extracting segments (I guess we ca...

... I tried changing the needle and lowering recording levels etc and no luck yet. The turntable I bought is a Vibe Sound USB model VS-2001-USBT. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. If I can't get better quality, I'll be sadly returning the thing.
