Hello. I’m very new to Audacity and to this forum. I’m running Audacity 2.1.3 on Mac OS 10.11.6. I’m trying to edit some mono spoken audio material for a podcast and am having trouble with the keyboard and mouse functions. Primarily, whenever I use either the Stop button or the spacebar to stop listening to playback, then hit Play or the spacebar again, it automatically rewinds back to the beginning or the most recent selection point.
It’s extremely frustrating because I intend for it to begin playing again from the Stop point. I ended up placing a bunch of unnecessary selection points (every thirty seconds or so) during playback just so when I stopped, it wouldn’t go all the way back to the beginning.
I’ve Googled and checked the forum to no avail, but I could be using the wrong words in the search, being new. My questions are: how can I keep the Stop from going backwards? And how can I get rid of the unnecessary selection points when I’m finished? Thanks very much.
