Audacity: Editing a File

Editing a file

 

Users can easily cut, copy and paste a track or part of a track onto an existing track or new track.  This is a useful feature when it is necessary to merge or separate tracks.  There are three ways to do this- but first you must select the part of the track to be modified.  Point, click and drag over part of the track until it is highlighted dark gray.  Then you can use the edit menu, use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + X, C or V) or use the editing icons  to modify the selected data.
