Increased Functionality of Generate Silence

I think that you could achieve the same ends more easily than now using features that are already in Audacity.

  1. Labels may be created as a plain text file (possibly generated in Excel).
    The format for a label text file is:
    start-time end-time label-text
    where
    []“start-time” and “end-time” are in seconds.
    [
    ]“Label-text” is the text within the label.
    [*]Each label is on a new line
    Example:
1.0 2.5 one to 2.5
3.0 4.0 three to four

Here it is as a plain text file:
labels.txt (40 Bytes)
“File menu > Import > Labels” to import the labels.


2) Audio clips may be dragged using the Time Shift tool. When the edge of an audio clip lines up with either another audio clip, or with the boundary of a label, a yellow vertical “snap guide” appears, making precise positioning very easy.
