Adding custom timestamp at the beginning of track

I can’t find any plugin named ‘Recording time’.

Audacity does not come with the “recording time” plugins installed:
you have to install them yourself. They are in a a zip file at the bottom of this 2017 post …

Labels to show time that a recording was made

I’ve now expanded this with idea with a second plug-in called “Recording Time”. The attached file (below) is a ZIP archive containing 3 files. The archive should be unzipped into the Audacity plug-ins folder. The three files are: record-time-labels.ny: An updated version of the plug-in posted in the first message of this forum topic (includes a small bug fix). record-time.ny: A new plug-in that reports the recorded time at the cursor / selection position (more info below) time-string.lsp:…

All three files in the zip must be extracted into tha Audacity plugins folder for the record-time plugins to work.

Two of the plugins need to be enabled in Audacity’s plugin manager …

I managed to install Audacity 333 on my Linux

You don’t need the latest Audacity for these plugins: they are from 2017.
