Moving Synchronized Tracks Together
It's fairly simple to move - that is, time shift - all of the Tracks in an Audacity project Together. In theory - you just enable the "Synchronize Tracks" feature - and time shift to suit.
But it could be frustrating if you want to shift only a subset of Tracks - vis-à-vis the others in the project - which is a more likely use case anyway.
In this Episode - we'll send that can't-move-the-right-Tracks-Together frustration to /dev/null. -
Getting Technical Properties of an Audio File
How can you quickly confirm whether an audio file is stereo or mono - or its sample rate - its bit depth - its encoding type - and other information you may need to know about that file?
In this Episode - we'll explore several terminal command line tools - that can deliver the information you need - as quickly as it takes to type the command and the audio filename. -
Audacity Labels and Label Tracks
It's great to have a way to label parts and points in your audio.
In Audacity - labels are contained in separate Tracks - that can still be associated with points in the audio.
In this Episode - we'll explore why separate Tracks are helpful - and a few ways you can use labels - to make things a lot easier for you in your audio project. -
Creating Transportable Filenames
Having an audio file not load or play because its filename won't load is annoying. If your file manager won't list it correctly - that could be disastrous.
In this Episode - we'll go over how to create filenames that will work - no matter what programs you use them in - or where you send them. -
Discerning When to Patch or just Record Again
In many cases - you can readily fix a glitch in a Recording - as we've discussed in some previous episodes.
But sometimes it makes sense to cull it out - and just start over.
In this Episode - we'll explore things to consider in deciding which to do. -
Easing Audio Part Transition with Fade-In and Fade-Out
What do you do when you need to join together two snippets of audio - and one or both of them start or end with rough edges?
In this Episode, we'll examine how the Fade-IN and Fade-OUT features of Audacity can help in this.
