Re: selecting with audacity

Hi Ray, If you need to move the cursor by a large time increment, like 70 minutes, it's easier to do this using the selection start spin box. It takes a little time to get the hang of, but it's a very useful control, as you can increment or decrement any digit in the time. For example to move

I could work with that Wouldn't mind seeing the page up and keys usable as seek keys if for example the audio you needed to grab was 76 minutes into a 3 hour file. - Original Message - From: "David Bailes" To: Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 06:58 Subject: Re: selectin

Re: selecting with audacity

Hi Ray, I'm not sure the developers would want to add another control to the toolbars. As an alternative, how about: 1. on the playback speed slider, the arrow keys move in 10% increments, and page up and down move in 40% increments. 2. a shortcut key is added to open the dialog box which conta

thanks much I'll play with that ugly work around. Possibly a spin box or combo box to select those increments would be less ugly. - Original Message - From: "David Bailes" To: Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 19:08 Subject: Re: selecting with audacity Hi Ray, I&

Re: selecting with audacity

Hi Ray, I'll mention your suggestion about smaller increments to the Audacity developers - they're far too big at the moment. There is however a rather ugly work around for this. If you move to the playback speed slider, route the Jaws cursor to the pc cursor and double left click, then a dial

Hi Ray, Adjusting the jump. If you open the preferences dialog (ctrl+p), select Audio I/O in the tree view, you can then tab to the seek time when playing section which contains two edit boxes. The names of the two edit boxes are short time and long time, and the units are seconds. Unfortunate

Re: selecting with audacity

Hi Ray, Assuming that you've turned off the option to "select all if non sekected", as described in the guide, then one or more tracks and a time range have to be selected to select a portion of audio. When you first open audacity, the focus should be the track table, so to move to the spin b

I need to snag 3 minutes from an audio file but I haven't worked out an easy way to get to the part of the file I need to start from or selecting the audio I need. How is this done with the latest version of audacity? Ray T. Mahorney WA4WGA To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email t
