help me,problem window?

Post by msmile024 » Tue May 08, 2018 7:48 am

I have AUDACITY 2.1.3, in Windows 10. . I want to save audio clips for editing purposes. So far the only way I seem to be able to do this is to literally save slips as individual files, bring them up and cut or paste when needed. Does Audacity have a separate Clipboard feature to store audio clips?

Yes, but it can only store one clip at a time

I used to do this a lot, and there's an easy trick:

1) Create a new empty audio track, and move it to the top (above any other tracks in the project). If your project uses both mono and stereo tracks, create on of each.
2) Create a new label track and move it directly below the audio track(s) created in step 1.
3) Click the Mute button it the tracks created in step 1.
4) Click the Track Collapse Button on the track(s) created in step 1.

You now have a convenient place to store multiple audio clips, and can identify each clip with a label.
