Sync lock question.

Post by Tapehead » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:28 pm

I want to sync the existing six tracks I have and drag them all forward on the timeline to be able to insert a new lead-track content before them on the timeline.

The manual says tracks > sync lock or use sync-lock button. I don't see either on my Audacity 2x Gui?

What is the exact version number of your Audacity installation? (look in "Help > About Audacity")

Thanks.

2.02

Update:

Been messing around and have just noticed that when a project is loaded I don't see sync-lock

When I load Audacity empty I do, but this doesn't carry over to reloading the project.

"Sync Lock Tracks" is the 10th item in the "Tracks" menu.

The Sync lock icon looks like a clock face as shown here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ed ... .html#link

Details about how Sync Lock works are here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sy ... roups.html

The current version of Audacity is 2.0.5 which is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/windows
