I'm running 3.2.3 on a Windows 10 PC My project has 2 clips and the volume on the clips is a little different. Can you give me steps to select both clips and get a similar volume on the whole project (both clips)? I've gone into the Volume and then Amplify settings and pressed "Apply" but it does not make any changes to the volume levels on the two clips. Thanks for help.

Hi Andrew,you wrote:"With version 3.2.3 with only one track in the project, pressing either of those keys (j or k) when the track is not selected toggles selection on."
This should only happen if the setting "select all audio, if selection required" is enabled - which is in the track behaviors section of preferences.Can you confirm that this is the case?thanks,David.

I was about to say that my tutorials are not on YouTube, but I think someone on the List put them there with my permission. To your issues:
Moving in small and larger increments. Shift-a does not do anything that I can find. Fullstop and comma jump forwards and backwards by one second by default. Shift-fullstop and shift-comma move by 15 seconds. Another option is scrubbing forwards and backwards with I and u respectively. Zooming in (control+1), zooming normal (control+2) and zooming out (control+3) will adjust the scrub rate. Multiple presses of control+1 and control+3 will continue to zoom in and out respectively. Pressing k should take you to the end of the selected track, not necessarily to the end of the project. If you are only working with one track though, that is a moot point. Which version of Audacity are you using? I previously thought, perhaps incorrectly, that the track had to be selected for j (beginning of track) and k (end of track) to work. With version 3.2.3 with only one track in the project, pressing either of those keys when the track is not selected toggles selection on. Just in case, pressing Enter on the track will toggle selection on and off. As a bytheway, it is worth going to Keyboard in Preferences (control+p) and tabbing until reaching the Defaults button. Pressing spacebar will allow you to select between standard and full. Arrow to full and press Enter (there is no notification of which one is set). Then tab to ok to close Preferences. I suspect you are in the top section when encountering buttons. The lower section largely consists of combo boxes. Like you, I assumed spacebar would work. However, on checking just now I found that Enter is needed. After all that, most of them are not terribly useful with the screen reader. Let us know how you get on with the k key, and anything else.

Andrew, I watched your demos on YouTube and they were excellent. I'm having trouble, however, with a few of the keyboard shortcuts. I can use the right arrow key to move in very small increments through a recording. I thought I could use Shift/A to move in larger increments but that is not working for me. I'm also not having luck using the "k" key to move to the end of my audio file. And third and final (for now), there are times, maybe after I've been in the lower section on the Audacity window, that I hear which buttons are turned on/off when I press the arrow keys. For example, I hear "Select" on. I thought these would act like radio buttons and I could press the Spacebar to turn them on/off. That doesn't work. Suggestions? Thanks to all for help.

Hi Greg
I will expand a little on Bob's response. As Bob said, pressing r will start recording. Pressing r again will recommence recording from the end of the currently selected track.
You mentioned that you saved the file. Did you save as an Audacity project or export, for example, to a wav or mp3 file? I strongly suggest saving as an Audacity project while working on the material.
If you have not discovered it already, this Guide to Audacity written by David Bales for screen reader users is a great resource. If you want some audio tutorials on using Audacity, I have done several on this page. Filenames are reasonably meaningful.
And do not hesitate to ask questions here as issues arise.

I'm new to Audacity, using JAWS on a PC. I have recorded the first 5 minutes of a demo and saved the file. I want to open the file and continue recording from the end point. How do I do that? Thanks.
