How do I record my voice and then pause it, listen to it, then restart without saving yet? It needs to be saved as mp3 from the get go too. Also I don’t know how to move the dial to e.g. 10 minutes ago. Thanks in advance.
Here is that breakdown in a natural, forum-style format:
-
Hit Record to start.
-
Use Pause instead of Stop if you just need a temporary break.
-
If you want to listen back, hit Stop and then Play.
-
To keep recording on the same track, just hit Record again—Audacity will append the audio right where you left off.
-
To move around the timeline, just click where you want to go or type the exact timestamp into the Selection Toolbar (like -10:00).
-
Keep in mind you choose MP3 under File → Export, not while you’re actually recording.
