Track Tags: can you move them or delete them?

[degasduncan]

Hi, when you insert track tags either using Silence Finder or manually, once the track flags are there, can you move them around or delete them? Thanks

I presume that you mean track "labels".
Yes, you can.
For editing labels in Audacity 1.2.x see here: http://audacityteam.org/manual-1.2/tracks_label.html

I'm new to Audacity and I seem to be missing some basic understanding of the program.
When I do what the tutorials says, for example SILENCE a label, it also silences the audio tracks at the same place. MUTING the audio tracks does not prevent this and I cannot find an ON-OFF switch for tracks.

In addition I cannot MOVE a label. I thought using the TIME SHIFT TOOL would work, but so far not luck.

As I said I suspect this is some lack of knowledge on my part. Help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Carbonman

Labels are quite hard to manage in 1.2.x - the latest Beta 1.3.12 has much improved label handling-. It is now a ptretty mature Beta - and for most folks it is a better bet than the now ancient 1.2.6.

You can get 1.3.12 from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
