I’m new to Audacity, and I’ve been trying to learn through SwarSaptaka’s tutorials on Youtube, but I’ve hit an issue I can’t figure out. When I select an area of my audio file by clicking and dragging above the timeline, it starts playing that area the moment I release the mouse-key, and then it deselects the moment it finishes playing. I can’t adjust or fine tune my selected area or even do any editing if it keeps deselecting, so how do I keep it selected?
I also noticed that if I hit pause while it’s playing the selected area, the display shows both the pause and play buttons depressed, I’m not sure if that’s significant, I just found it odd.
