Good morning to you again, Joe!
I am not sure that the YouTube tutorial that you are referencing is all that
good an idea for what you are wanting to produce. Also, you are not moving your
markers correctly to select segments or full tracks. In my tutorial sessions
with other audacity newbies, I tell them there are two things you are
selecting. One. You are selecting the track as a whole. two. You are selecting
the contents within that track with the markers. you must understand these two
concepts in concert in order to manipulate the audio effectively. Again, I can
tutor you if you would like.

I think I may’ve found a solution to my earlier question. I found a
YouTube video saying I can cut the second track and paste it into the
point in the first track where I want the merge to occur. Here’s the
thing, even though JAWS tells me Track 2 is selected, it won’t let me
use CTRL X. It says no audio is selected. This is the same error I get
when I try to remove a track. Even though JAWS tells me a track is
selected, I can’t use the Delete key to remove it. I thought it might
be a JAWS script issue. I removed the scripts, but no, Audacity still
refuses to acknowledge a track is selected. Rather frustrating. At any
rate, thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Thanks again to those of you who provided links to the JAWS scripts.
Very much appreciated.
I have a question, and so far I have not been able to figure it out
from reading the manual or listening to the few audio tutorials on
Audacity I’ve managed to uncover. If anyone has a lead on a good audio
tutorial, please let me know.
Here’s the scenario: I have two tracks. Track 1 is intro music. Track
2 is a voiceover. I start playing Track 1 and pause at the point I
want to mix in the voiceover. I use the left bracket to presumably set
the starting marker. Then I go to Tracks on the menu bar and use the
Mix and Render to New Track to, presumably, bring in the voiceover at
the starting marker. Except, Audacity is not doing this for me.
Instead, it’s starting Track 1 from the starting marker but bringing
in the voiceover track at the same timeframe as Track 1 rather than
mix in the voiceover from the beginning. Also, the third track just
gets labeled Voiceover, after the name of the original file, rather
than Track 3.
Can you help me properly mix, or insert, the two files?
Is there a better way of organizing the tracks so that I can see all
three tracks but individually manipulate them without disturbing the
rest of the project?
Forgive me. I hope I’m using the right terminology.
Thanks so much for helping out this clear novice. :)
Joe
