Hello all. Newb here.
I would like to put short labels on the label track. I'd like them to be spaced 0.125 seconds apart, and I'd like that situation to continue for the next 3 minutes.
Can I just lay down the first 4 labels and then copy and paste them a whole bunch of times? I don't actually care what the labels say, I just want to use them as markers for this particular project.
Is such a thing possible or have I got the wrong idea about label tracks? Should I be using some other method to acheive my aim?
Thanks for reading.

Re: Cutting and pasting the label track
You really need to upgrade to 1.3.9 wher a new feature has been added to make this much easier
In 1.3 you can go to Analyze > Regular Interval Labels and then use the dialog box to set up your required labelling.
You can get 1.3.9 from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows

Re: Cutting and pasting the label track
Thanks waxcylinder (better not call you wc!).
Unfortunately the spiffy little netbook that the New South Wales government has gifted me does not allow me to intall software (it's a long, tedious story). It is on this machine that I have to use Audacity (I use Logic Studio on my "real" computer
).
Audacity looks like a great program, actually, a brilliant program for freeware. I've figured out a work-around of sorts, but it would be great to get away with doing the copying and pasting I mentioned above. From your answer I gather it's not a goer?
If I could run Audacity from a USB drive then I'd get the upgrade, but I don't think that's possible. Maybe someone could confirm?
Cheers.

Mark,
yes you can install a portable Audacity from a USB drive - see this page from the Wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... e_Audacity
And no you don't get the regular interval labelling in 1.2.x - it was a new feature intruduced in one of the 1.3 releases.
