Oh no! That is great information. Let me ask you something else. If you have
something recorded on the first part of the track and then go back and press R
to append recording on that track, can you listen to the part of what you have
recorded on the first part of the track, say a small lead part, and then start
recording at the end of that pre-recorded lead? Will Audacity automaticly begin
recording after the first part ends? Hope I made sents.
Steve

No, not quite right I suspect. Pressing r will append to the track you are on
regardless of where the cursor is. For example, if you recorded three minutes
and then went back to the beginning of the track and pressed r recording would
commence from the three minute mark. Using the above example, Audacity does
not offer you an option for directly dropping into record at – say – the 2
minute mark. If you wanted to add something at that point you would have to
record on a fresh track and copy and paste.
I was thinking that you wanted to play the lead over existing material. To do
that, you would go to the appropriate point and press shift-r. Remembering
that Audacity is a multi-track recorder, that would start recording on a fresh
track.
I suggest you practise with an unimportant recording before working further on
the song. As well as not having to worry about hiss when recording onto tape,
Audacity does have an undo facility. However, it is best to have a firm
understanding of what you are doing before attacking something valuable.
Again, apologies if I have misunderstood what you are trying to do.

Thanks so much Andrew for responding. Yes, I’m using 2.2.2, Win 10 and Jaws
2018. I’m assuming you have to go to the part of the song you want to record
on, stop the track, and then press shift R to append to the track? I’ll try
that when I get home from work today. Thanks again, Steve.

Hi Steve
I am not sure that I fully understand what you are trying to do, so apologies
if the following is off the mark. I assume you are using current (2.2.2) or
nearly current version of Audacity.
Pressing r the first time will start recording on a fresh track. Subsequent
presses of r will append to that track. I suspect what you want is shift-r,
which will start recording from the current position on a fresh track.
Therefore, if you have a song and you want to play your lead guitar at various
points, go to that point and press shift-r. Well, you probably want to start a
bit before to give yourself time to pick up the guitar. You can replace any
thumps and bumps while picking up the guitar with silence later.
I do not use JAWS, so cannot comment on what the scripts add. My
understanding, though, is that they add some convenience features. Others can
comment further on the JAWS scripts. One of the things I particularly like
about Audacity is that it can be used with a screen reader without having to
add extras.

I’m doing a project, and it is going well. However I’m not a good lead guitar
player and have to append to my lead track every verse. Can someone tell me how
to use the append record mode with jaws? Do you have to have the scripts for
this? I’ve been looking for a hot key for this with no success. Thanks so much
in advance. Digital recording is so exciting for me after recording on reel to
reel. No white noise, yae.
Steve
