Increasing sections of silence in a track

Post by multilingual » Sat Aug 26, 2017 4:13 pm

I am using Audacity 2.1.3 in Windows 7.

I have a language learning CD which has pauses for repetition but the pauses are not long enough for a normal person to repeat what was just said for language learning / practice.

Does Audacity have any feature that allows one to increase automatically any period of silence by a fixed amount in a track?
Say increase a silence of 2 seconds to maybe 6 or 8 seconds.

Thank you.
