I have 2 recordings of a discussion, where the main speaker sounds best on recording-1 and the rest sound best on recording-2. Before I discovered that you can label a region, I placed a point label at all the points where I need to ‘switch to the other recording’.
I can’t figure out how to use my point labels to silence half of the regions of one track and the other half of the regions of the other track?
I HAVE tried reading http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/navigation_tips.html and http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audacity_selection.html .
Should I in some way convert all the point labels into region labels?
Can anyone please give me a hint about how to proceed?
I have attached a screen shot showing all the labels.
If you have labelled regions like this, AND a point label at the start:
then you can select both tracks and use “Edit menu > Labelled Audio > Split Cut” to cut (copy and remove) the labelled sections like this:
then “Tracks menu > Add New > Mono/Stereo track” and past the cut sections into the new track:
You can now process the two audio tracks independently however you wish.
OK. Thank you. But dragging the triangle handle towards another point label doesn’t connect the 2. It just creates a new label near the old point label. That’s not very logical…
OK. I have labelled every other region as you explained. (But I haven’t deleted the original point labels.) Then I selected 1 track. But when I go to "Edit menu > Labelled Audio > " all sub-menu items are grey and cannot be used. (I even tried closing Audaciy and open it Again.)
What’s the problem?
