Hi Andrew, this really was helpful and does work well. I'll enjoy finding out
what I can do with this.
Thanks.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Clips
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

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.
