How Too > cut 1 mono file into 2 and join ?

Post by VoicesBySteve » Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:52 pm

Hello,
May I ask an Audacity Guru: I have a long mono file, the 1st half is music and the 2nd half is my voice.

I want to cut it in half where the music stops and the voice begins then join them together to render it into 1 mono file of music with my voice over the top of it ?

Note: I did it before and now I forget :roll:

Thanks Steve

1) place your cursor add the start of the "voice" part
2) click and drag right to select the "voice" part
3) Ctrl + X to cut out the voice part and place it on the Audacity clipboard
4) Tracks > Add New > mono or stereo track as appropriate
5) click the "Skip to start" button in the Transport toolbar or us Shift + Home
6) Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the Audacity clipboard into the new track

Job done 8-)
