Most Effective Way To Delete A Segment Of Song

[_j33_]

Hi there guys,

I made a file in the 1.2 version of audacity, just because it's got everything I need (I only stick to the basics), EXCEPT the ability to move several tracks at once.

So I saved under a different file, and imported the new project file into Audacity Beta, so I could remove two particular bars of music I don't want in the song anymore. However, I need the rest of the song to stay in time, if you know what I mean.

Picture the tracks I have like this:

______________
______________
______________
______________
______________
______________

etc... What I need to do, is this:

______________
____|__|______
____|__|______
____|__|______
____|__|______
____|__|______

The segment down the middle is the bit I wish to take out. Is there a way of just selecting this segment, drag it down across all the tracks, and simply delete it so everything else remains in time?

Thanks heaps.

In Audacity 1.3 - yes.
Click on the top track then drag across and down.

For other ways of selecting multiple tracks see this post:
