Hello Everyone,
I am farely knew to Audacity and here is my situation:
I have a short 2 second clip of the ambient sound of my piano. I have copied and pasted it 4 more times to make the total clip length 10 seconds. However, every 2 seconds, because the original clip repeats, it gets a studder sound in between each copy. How can I "blend" it all together into one sound? (I just want one blended sound)
...And what plugin should I use?
**Oops I posted in wrong forum, I have the 1.3 Beta, but it shouldn't matter**
Which plugin should I use to...

Re: Which plugin should I use to...
No plugins.
The long way around is (in 1.3) put clip one on track one, put clip one on track two (Track > Add Stereo Track) and use the time Shift Tool (black left and right arrows) to push it around until they appear one after the other. Then put clip one on track one again and Time Shift it so it starts right after the cut on track two.
So the composite plays track one, track two, track one.
Then you can use the Envelope Tool (two white arrows and bent blue line) to fade each clip in and out at the appropriate times. It's a rubber band. You can click on it and push the volume up or down as you wish.
Before I did all that, I'd probably apply Normalize > Remove DC to the sound clip before I tried to do any production. Then cut and paste with that one all on one track, not the original. Magnify the transition points (select and then Control-E) and try to arrange the cut so the individual waves are going the same direction. This is harder if you're in stereo.
That should give you a transparent, graceful transition. Repeat ad-lib.
