Is there a way in Audacity to shift a wav clip up or down to a different track so as to end up in the exact place on the timeline but on a different track?
You used to be able to just drag a track up or down. Looking.

Yeah. Here it is. Click just above MUTE and drag up or down. You don’t get a visual hint what you’re doing until it switches.

To get the “exact” same place in time:
- Select the audio that you you want to move.
- Alt+Ctrl+X (“Split Cut” also in the “Edit > Remove Special” menu")
- “Enter” key (de-select current track)
- Up/down cursor to the track where you want to move it to
- “Enter” (Select current track)
- “Ctrl+V” (paste)
If you are able to use a mouse, the quicker method is to hold CTRL then drag vertically. When you hold CTRL then drag, the clip can only move vertically, not horizontally.

Great tip - If I ever knew that, I’d forgotten about it.
Thanks everyone. This one can be closed
If this was once true, it is no longer true. I am looking for the same functionality but holding CTRL to drag appears to modify the drag function not at all. I can still drag the clip anywhere, giving me low confidence that it’s going to the exact same time.
