I’m using macOS 11.7.2 & Audacity 3.2.2 I’m using Audacity of the first time - how exciting!
I think my request is simple - I have a 30s recording of a bell. I would like to add some minutes of silence to the track, before the bell sound starts. Please tell me this is easy to do!
Many thanks - and a Happy Christmas to all who celebrate the festival.
Zoom out then drag the clip to the right.

Or you might want to add real silence instead of a gap.
To do that
- move the cursor to before the start of the bell sound
- Generate > Silence
- specify the amount of silence you want
- click the Generate button
Bill’s method gives more flexibility in repositioning the bell sound later.
