Importing Audio to the Position of the Cursor

[Vlad2]

I need to know how to import audio directly to the point where the cursor is placed on an empty track, instead of to the beginning of a new track.

Select then Copy the audio, (“Ctrl”+“C”), then position the cursor where you want to paste the audio, (“Ctrl”+“V”).
You can Copy & Paste across different Audacity windows, (as well as within a window).

Another possibility is to use the time-shift tool …

Short answer is, you can’t.

As Trebor wrote, there’s lots of ways to move the audio after it has been imported. Another way is to use "Tracks menu > Align Tracks > " Tracks Menu: Align Tracks - Audacity Manual

Thank you for the explanation. Apparently the imported audio has to be moved to a certain cursor location manually.
