I am somewhat new to Audacity and have not been able to figure this out or find the answer anywhere else.
I’m trying to mix 2 sound files together, but I need one of the files to come in after the 1st one has already begun. How do I do this? I thought I could just “drag” the 2nd file to the correct position under the the 1st one, but either I’m doing it wrong or I can’t. How do I do this?
If any more information or clarification is needed, just let me know and I’ll gladly supply it. Thank you in advance.
If you have two tracks, one above the other, and both tracks have continuous audio, then you should be able to drag either track left / right using the Time Shift tool.
Why can’t you? How are you trying to do it, and what happens when you try?
I was actually able to do it by making sure “Sync-Lock Tracks” was turned off, then using the Align Tracks, Start to Cursor commands. I actually didn’t even know about the Time-Shift Tool, so thank you for that. I greatly appreciate it.
