Distorted Wav file after repair

[steve]

One final question, so using ctrl-D, I actually get a new track with that segment I want to time stretch. But I rather want that segment to lie on the same "extra" track, so I won't end up with hundreds of tracks. Is there a quick way of doing it?

I'd recommend working with 3 audio tracks - the original track (track 1), a new track with the "patches" (track 2) and a temporary track (track 3).

1) Select the part that you want to duplicate (track 1). It is often convenient to select a bit more than you actually need and then trim down the copy to the right size later.
2) Ctrl+D to make a duplicate (track 2)
3) Do whatever you need to the duplicate .....
.....
Next section:
a) Select the part that you want to duplicate (track 1).
b) Ctrl+D to make a duplicate (track 3 - temporary)
c) Double click on the duplicate copy so that (only) it is selected.
d) Ctrl+C (copy)
e) ENTER (deselects track 3)
f) Up cursor key (moves "focus" to track 2)
g) ENTER (selects the same section of track 2).
h) Ctrl+V (paste into track 2)
g) Click on the [X] in the top left corner of track 3 to delete the (temporary) track.

Tip: It's usually easiest to work left to right so as to avoid accidentally moving later audio clips.
