I wish to reverse play and go back and forth to try to locate some clicks or gaps (OR FOR OTHER PURPOSES). I can't find any way to do that. I checked a 'reverse" option in Effects but it seems very awkward to use.
I also can't seem to move the cursor back as I want to. Every time I do that, the cursor bounces back to where it was before.
I HATE having to get WavePad but it sure is a lot simpler to use and wish I was smart enough to figure out Audacity. I am not interested in getting very sophisticated and only want to do basic editing and then burning to disc.
