Audacity Forum

Can anyone tell me if there any effects that Audacity uses, to make the piece more fluid/flowing. It sounds alittle choppy ( staccato ) - I'm looking for more a glissando effect.

UPDATE:
Oops forgot about "tracker" VST effect which can change staccato to glissando ...

Create two new tracks. Copy and move to 1 track and shift it forward a tick or two. On the 2nd new track shift a tick or two before the original. This will create a way to fill in the gaps of the 'rests' that makes a sound staccato.
