  • Page 13 Loop: if you press and hold the “shift” key, the “play” button changes to a “loop” button, enabling you to play the selection repeatedly. Record: records audio at the project’s sample rate (the sample rate in the lower-left corner of the window). The new track will begin at the current cursor position, so click the "skip to start"...
  • Page 14 Zoom Out Fit selection in window: zooms until the selection just fits inside the window. Fit project in window: zooms until all of the audio just fits inside the window. The “Track Pop-Down” Menu If you click on the title of a music track, the “track” pop-down menu appears. This lets you access a few special commands that apply to individual tracks.
  • Page 15 Set Sample Format: determines the quality of the audio data, and the amount of disk space it requires. 16-Bit is the quality used by audio CD's and is the minimum quality that Audacity uses internally (8-bit audio files are automatically converted when you open them).
  • Page 16 Export as MP3: exports audio as an MP3 file. As MP3 files are compressed, they use less disk space, but they lose some audio quality. Another compress alternative is Ogg Vorbis (see below). You can set the quality of MP3 compression in the File Format Preferences.
  • Page 17 Paste: inserts whatever is on the clipboard at the selected position, or cursor position in the project. This replaces any selected audio data, if any. Trim: removes everything to the left and right of the selection. Delete: removes all selected audio data without copying it to the clipboard. Silence: suppresses all selected audio data, replacing said data with silence, instead of removing it.
  • Page 18 Move Cursor ... > to Selection End: moves the cursor to the end of the current selection. Snap-To ... > Snap On: enables the “snap-to” mode. This mode constrains the selection to the nearest interval on the time scale, by default the nearest second. Therefore, if you click and drag from 4.2 seconds to 9.8 seconds, it results in a selection from precisely 4 seconds to 10 seconds.
  • Page 19 Float Edit Toolbar: moves the “edit toolbar” out of the window and into its own floating window, so you can position it wherever you want. The menu item changes to “dock edit toolbar”, which you can use to put the toolbar back into the main window. Float Meter Toolbar: does the same thing for audacity's VU meters, which you use to set recording levels and adjust playback.
  • Page 20 However, you can use this command to cut, or copy, data from an existing track and paste it into a blank track. If that track was at a non-default rate, then you may need to use “set rate” from the “track pop-down” menu to set the correct sample rate. New Stereo Track: see above, but this command creates a stereo track.
  • Page 21 Tone: creates a “sine wave”, “square wave”, or “Sawtooth wave”. White Noise: inserts random audio samples, sounding like pure static. Any items, which appear after these three built-ins, are VST, Ladspa, or Nyquist plug- ins. A poorly written plug-in may crash Audacity, so always save your work before using a plug-in.
  • Page 22 want to add silence to the end of the track before applying it (using the “generate menu”). Equalization: boosts or reduces random frequencies. You can select one of a number of different curves designed to equalize the sound of some popular record manufacturers, or draw your own curve.
