hey, im not sure if someone has posted this already, but, is there a way to seperate a track thats already recorded, to add a silent part, so i could put in something in that blank spot?

thanks

Move your cursor to the required spot. Use the Generate>Silence to create <n> seconds of silence at that point. Move cursor to beginning of silence - then record your new track starting from there.

You may need to make some adjustments by deleting some Silence if you created too much - or adding some more. Or you may need to use the Time-Shift tool to move the tracks arond to match up.

This will give you two tracks - so you can either do a Quickmix - or just export to WAV/MP3 whatever and Audacity will do the mix as part of the export (but retaining the tracks separated in your project.

It shouldn't do, it should push out the rest of the track - but there is always the Undo command if it does - and for safety's sake until you are sure take a backup copy of your project first (SAVE AS - under a slightly different name for the backup).
