cuting a large file and exporting it

Post by rayrapidan » Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:29 pm

i have 2 questions, first is if i want to cut a large file into the smaller tracks how would i do that? so far i have "add label at selection" for every track but that didnt do much. and second the help says to export multiple but the pull down "file" tab is grayed out and i cant click and of the export functions. does anybody have another way i can split my file or is there a way i can fix it so i can export the files as separate tracks?

thanks

Audacity doesn't Save sound files. It saves Projects which are works in progress. Audacity will Export a sound file for you, but you must be in Stop and not Pause for the tools to turn black.
