Hi Adrian
Marlon's description of use of left and right bracket keys is important.
Within the past couple of years, Audacity has introduced a feature that
takes a lot of the tedium out of making a selection. Under the Select Menu
there are two related commands: Store Cursor Position and Cursor to Stored
Position. They do not have shortcuts assigned, but you could do that if
desired. Pressing alt-s followed by I to store the position and alt-s
followed by c to put the cursor to the stored position is not very
time-consuming though.
It works like this. At the point where you want to start (or end) a
selection press alt-s i. Then move to where you want the selection to end
(or start) and press alt-s c. That will select everything between the two
points. You could then press control-b to label that selection or press
control-I to make it a clip. In my ramblings about using labels, I
dismissed clips as being inaccessible. However, that is no longer the case
and they are a very useful facility.

Hi again.
Yes, it's the pest.
Can you please suggest the best way of selecting a portion of the track I
want to edit.
I have tried the options in the Select/Region submenu but I never seem to
get it right.
Many thanks.

Hi again Adrian
Thanks Robert for refining my process. But before following my drawn out
process, here is another option which I should have thought of at the time.
There is a wonderful plugin for Audacity called Panramp. It allows a
selection to be panned and that can be moving from - say - left to right or
being set in one position. By using Panramp, everything can be done on one
track.
Here is a download link <https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/idvk27> for
panramp.ny. Put in into your C:\Users\[Adrian?]
\AppData\Roaming\audacity\Plug-Ins folder. Before you can use it, select
add/remove plugins in the Effects Menu and press p until you find it.
Shift-tab until you find the Enable button and select it.
That plugin has made a huge difference for my use of Audacity and should be
very useful for music creation.

Hi,
I recorded a guitar solo on a track & now I want to use panning on parts of
it.
For example, I want the intro on the left & the verse on the right & then
the chorus in the centre.
I think I have to do some cutting & pasting from the main track to a new
track but I have spent the best part of a week trying everything but I'm
struggling.
When I have managed to select the right part & cut & paste, nothing is where
it should be.
I checked youtube but most of it is visual & that isn't good for me..
Any help is appreciated.
Adrian
