Greetings! This is my first post. I used Sound Forge when I was running XP. Now with Windows 7 I'm on to Audacity. I am learning this new program. So my first question is a simple one. Let us say that I have a 21-minute sound. I want to add shorter sounds to it. How is this done in Audacity?
Thank you!
Johnny

Import the new sounds. Audacity will give each sound its own new track. Copy and Paste the new sound to the original one. It's strongly recommended that the technical standards of all the tracks match ahead of editing. Audacity isn't a very good converter.

Method 2:
Import the new sounds (Audacity will give each sound its own new track)
Use the "Time Shift Tool" to slide the clips left/right to the appropriate position (double headed arrow <->, may be accessed from the tool button, or press the F5 key).
The tracks will be mixed to create a single audio track when you "Export" (from the "File" menu).
