That is not what the person wants to do.  He wants completely separate files, 
one for each track.  He would then burn the separate files on cd and the audio 
format should be used when burning.  

Here is one way to do this.  Depending on what you are recording, it may be 
suitable.  Let's say you are recording something you wrote such as the minutes 
of a meeting.  there are five separate topics, each topic taking a few minutes 
to read.
Record the first topic.  
 Export it as an mp3 file with the name 01.  .  
Close Audacity and reopen it.
Record the second topic.  Save it as 02.mp3
Continue until all topics have been recorded.  
Then burn the cd using the audio format.

There is probably a new command that would probably save you a bit of time but 
it isn't necessary to use and I won't discuss it here.

Hi Rick!

You need to align each track to its start position to have them play in a 
certain order. Since you're creating a CD you probably want to play one after 
the other. The simplest way of doing this is to use the Align End to End 
command in the Tracks menu. Press ctrl-A and alt-T-A-A to do this.

 

Cheers! Robbie

Subject: [audacity4blind] Creating Multiple Tracks

 

I am in a support group and prepare print and recorded CD information (about 
5-10 minutes ) each month.  I produce an audio CD since most members are older 
and do not have access to a daisy player.  However, I would like to make the 
information more navigable.  Someone suggested that I record each item on a 
separate track.  I have tried creating multiple tracks using Audacity but they 
are on top of each other.  I need some guidance on how to create the separate 
tracks.  Should I label each track and what is the best way to accomplish this. 
 I must admit that I am a novice when it comes to editing and producing digital 
audio.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  By the way I am using JAWS 16.
