I’ve been using Audacity for years and been used to cutting a clip with it creating empty sound, and i’ve been used to it with no issue until just a few minutes ago.
But somehow I must have done something wrong like a hotkey to change preferences because now, cutting makes the splits join between each other without creating empty space like it always has for years. I have not updated to a different version nor have I seemed to change anything in the preferences.
unchecking “Editing a clip can move other clips” changes nothing either. It bahaves the same after unchecking it in the preferences.
Is there any way to go back to a way for Audacity to let me cut a split, while replacing it with empty sound like it always has? I know that ctrl+alt+k does a similar job but that’s a very inconvenient hotkey, and I’d rather have it stay the way it’s always been with me for multiple years, just by cutting/deleting.
Sure, but a simple cut (and delete) always left a blank space before. I’ve been using this method for god knows how many years and it’s just weird that it doesn’t work the same anymore during the same session… Guess i’ll do that until i can find a fix.
Same version, 1.3.3… I just don’t understand how I made this work. I even reset my entire pc just a few days ago and i didn’t even have to change a single setting to use the cut function the same way i have for years.
