Selecting the Space Between Clips

Post by cpsmusic » Mon Sep 15, 2014 1:32 pm

Hi,

Is there a quick way to accurately select the area between two clips on a single track?

Boundary guides don't seem to work for this.

I realise this could be done by looking at the end/start times of the two clips but I'm wondering if it can be done using the selection tool alone.

Cheers,

Chris

Double-click.

I should have added that the area is empty.

If I double-click the whole track is selected.

The Boundary Snap Guides should work with white space if Snap To in Selection Toolbar is "Off".

If Snap To is "On" then mouse drags (and clicks) will only snap to physical boundaries where the boundaries are at an exact position for the selection format specified in Selection Toolbar. See the bottom of http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/bo ... uides.html .
