Hi Rich! You can use the Reverse effect to get your backward track to play in the right direction. Select the track by pressing enter. Then press j to move the cursor to the beginning of the track, then press shift-k to select the audio from start to finish. Now select Reverse from the Effects menu. You'll need to export each track separately in order to get mp3 files for the individual tracks. To do this, select the audio as described above, then select Export Selection from the File menu.

I want to record the separate tracks in Audacity. Here is the problem. As I run a cassette through one side, it obviously records the left track forward and the right track backward due to the NLS format. I went into the context menu and selected separation of the stereo tracks. I then went back into the context menu and selected the left track, which is the forward track. I went back a third time and selected mono. This was effective in giving me the forward left track in the middle, but I cannot get rid of the backward track on the right side. What steps am I missing to separate these tracks so that they can be saved in a forward direction in separate files? -- Rich De Steno The audacity4blind web site is at //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, Audacity keyboard commands, and more...
