![]() Or there may be another reason that you want to only work with either the left or right channel.īelow shows a track with one channel much louder than the other. Sometimes when you are recording you may only record one channel of your track correctly. If all works well then only the part you had selected will still be present on your track When you have selected the part of the audio that you want to keep it should show up in a darker colour. To do this select only the part of the track that you want to keep. It is also different from using the cutting function as it maintains the time location of the part of the track you want to keep.Īs an example we are going to trim a music track to only include the first 30 seconds or so. Trimming audio tracks is useful when you only want to keep one part of the track. You should let go of the mouse when you are happy with the new time location of the track you a shifting. In the shot above the yellow guideline appeared when the start of the second track matched up with the end of the first one. You can select the track you want and drag it left or right to occupy a new time location.Īs you click and drag the second track to the right you may see some yellow guidelines appear to shows you the ending point of the other tracks. To do this use the mouse to select the Time Shift tool from the menu at the top of the workspace. Our goal is to place the music track after the audio track. They both are set to start at 0.00 seconds. In the example below we have imported two audio files into a project. This is useful when you are arranging audio on different tracks to be placed on after the other in a sequence. The time shift tool allows you to alter the time location of the audio on a particular track. This is done using a combination for the Time shift tool and the Envelope tool. What we are going to do next is to decrease the volume of the music track while the voice track contains some voice audio. You'll see the silence appear as a flat line on the relevant track of your project. So I'm going to over estimate and put in 20 seconds of silence, as shown below.Įnter the number of seconds silence you want to insert and then click ' OK'. When you are inserting a number of seconds for your Silence, it is easier to add more and then delete some silence later than to add to it. Do this by selecting Generate > Silence from the menus at the top of the screen. You are now ready to insert some silence. When the voice track is selected you will see the whole track go a darker colour. To start with your workspace should look a little like the still below.Ĭlick in the voice track where you want to insert your silence. This would work in an advert or introduction for a radio show. ![]() ![]() If we take the example of a two track project with one track as music and the other track as a voice track then we can imagine a situation where we would want to insert a silence in the voice track for several seconds to allow us to fade up the music. ![]() You may want to add a silence to a track for several reasons. Some of these include, adding silence, trimming audio, splitting and joining tracks, using panning. There are some more advanced steps for editing that you can carry out with Audacity.
