can't cut anymore

[Humanismradio]

Hi,

The first time I started to use audicity, it was easy to cut parts of my files. However, after a few minutes it didn’t work anymore.
Also the looks are different: it seems as if the whole file is selected, although pressing the cut button doesn’t cut the whole file. The only way I can cut is by going to the editing menu, clicking on deleting audio or labels and then on delete.

I am also having problems in creating an extra empty file beneath the file I want to edit. The English tutorial suggests a menu ‘Project’, but in the Dutch version I cannot find this menu.

Hope someone can help me out…Tnx in advance!

You mean an empty “track”?
In Audacity 2.1.0 you can create a new (empty) track from the “Tracks menu > Add New > Audio track”
