Punch Copy/Paste problem

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

Yesterday I installed the plug-ins for Punch Copy/Paste and Punch Paste. I then created a keyboard shortcut for Punch Paste.

Next I used Punch Copy/Paste to copy a short section of silence/room noise with these settings:
Copy(replace); Enable looping; Linear; Max crossfade time 0.000; Paste mix 100%

I then got a confirmation message like this: Punch Copy/Paste 0.906 sec copied

I then highlighed a short section where I wished to remove breathing noise and applied my keyboard shortcut for Punch Paste which gave the error message:

Error
Clipboard empty
Use ‘Punch Copy/Paste’ first.

Naturally I have repeated the process many times, with the same result.

Please can anyone help!

In “Punch Copy/Paste”, click on “Manage > About”.
Does it say:
“Version: 3.0.2-1”

No, it doesn’t. It says, “Version: n/a”
Your question makes me think I might not have the latest versions of the 2 plug-ins.

Try this version:

Steve, thank you!
After further failed attempts I resorted to reinstalling Audacity; then your link to Punch Copy/Paste worked first time.
I am most grateful to you. Now I can get on with the project!

Hey Steve, I have installed version 3.6.1 on my windows 10 and I am experiencing the same issues. I have installed the above plugin version of punch copy paste and reinstalled audacity and still no luck. It WAS working at one point, but then I’ve no idea what happend.

After installing the plug-ins and setting up a keyboard shortcut for Punch Paste, I followed the correct procedure: I copied a section of silence/room noise with the settings for Copy(replace), looping enabled, linear, and a max crossfade time of 0.000, and then received a confirmation that the copy was successful.
