Hi Paul
Clips are hugely useful since Audacity made them keyboard accessible. In
summary, you can split a track into clips. You can then do such things as
move or delete a clip or add an effect to it.
Useful keystrokes:
Control+I splits into two clips at cursor position
Control+j joins two clips (need to select audio across the clip boundary
Alt+. (fullstop) moves to next clip
Alt+, (comma) moves to previous clip
Clips can be used a bit like labels. Both have their uses.
David recently alerted me to an option in the Extras menu for moving a clip
left or right. Among other benefits, this can be very helpful for making a
correction of latency occurs in a recording. I almost mentioned it re
Gary's latency issues. Keystrokes are not assigned by default. It is worth
doing that if you find the feature useful.
I did a short (about ten minute) tutorial on Audacity navigation last year,
which included clips. Here is the MP3 file

<https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/s15rxr> is a 100mb download and allows
playing around with labels and clips. Labels are used to break the
presentation into discrete segments.

Hello, I've just been reading something about clips, so what are clips and
what can you do with them?
Thanks.
