Selecting Multiple Clips Simulateously

[quail]

Yes it's a bit tricky.
The easiest way that I've found is:

1) Create "Splits" between the sections (Ctrl + I or "Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split")
2) Duplicate the entire track (select the track then Ctrl+D (or "Edit > Duplicate")
3) double click in one of the sections and press Ctrl+Alt+K to delete that section without moving the remaining audio (or "Edit > Remove Audio > Split Delete")

Repeat step 3 to remove alternate sections from each track.

Thanks again Steve. I'll give this a try later today after I get some work done.

Unless you've decided against, I can add you vote for an existing feature request

Select multiple regions, e.g. in Word programs etc. you can use the control key to select multiple but separate areas of a file so several areas to processed at the same time.

Others want to:

Multi-Label-Select: Ability to select multiple (not necessarily adjacent) labels (such as with control-click or shift-click)

If you are not familiar with labels already you can read about them here:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/label_tracks.html .

There are already some limited actions you can apply to adjacent labels spanned by a region (like Silence or Cut). These are at Edit > Labeled Regions.

Thanks Gale. I do remember looking at labels and did somewhat understand that. I am new to audio editing so of course I don't have enough experience to imagine a complimentary amount of possibilities for one tool or another. I do see where labels might be employed usefully in what I am attempting right now. As for otters wanting to work on multiple labels at the same time, I agree that it would seem useful to be able to apply as many operations or effects on as many regions of a track or tracks at the same time as possible.
I am not sure what you are implying with ""decided against"?

I think he means: unless in the light of Steve's comments you have changed your mind about the desirability of multiple selection editing, would you like your vote adding to the existing feature request?

If there are a lot of regions, then there is a quicker way of doing what I described, using "Edit > Labelled Regions" to achieve this effect:



You will probably find it useful to attempt the job manually so that you can see how it works, but if you are going to do a lot of this sort of thing I'll be happy to describe the "more advanced" (quicker) method.

Please add my vote too. This would be useful for many use-cases.
