Audacity Forum

Hello everybody, how are you all going? I would really appreciate some help for a question I have. I recorded an audio of me talking, and I finished it, but I noticed when I played it back that I said one sentence wrong. When I have imported that audio into audacity, how do I erase just that one sentence which is the the middle of the audio, and replace it with the proper sentence, so that it it doesn't ruin the whole thing, bit so that it sounds like it was there all along? The audio I made is for a cartoon video about a talking bear, and I don't want to redo the whole thing, because the rest of it turned out great.

Thank yo so much for your time, I do appreciate it a lot

Make sure that you have a WAV file of the original recording (Export as "16 bit Microsoft PCM WAV")

1) Open a new Audacity project.
2) Record the new sentence.
3) Import the original WAV file - this will go onto a new track.
4) Find the sentence that you want to replace and select it (click and drag)
5) Use "Split Delete" from the Effects menu to remove the selected audio.
6) Use the "Time Shift Tool" (double headed arrow) to drag the audio pieces into the correct positions so that it plays correctly.
7) Export the new version (use a new name).

Hello, and thank so so VERY much for showing me how to do it, I appreciate it a lot!!

Thanks heaps, and have an excellent day!!

Kind Regards, from Christina
