Thanks, Andrew. That's what I suspected.

Ah, the plot thickens. Are you using shift-s to solo a track. When I do that with Audacity 2.3.2, the track I am on is shown as soloed and the rest are shown as muted. If you are not getting that response, let us know what is happening.
Justin reminded me of another option for replacing the material. Rather than creating a separate track, you could go to the end of the current track and record the new material. Then select that material, press control-x to cut it and, putting the cursor in the right spot, press control-v to paste it.
Further to Justin’s question, unless I have missed it Audacity does not have an insert facility. That is why all this cutting and pasting is necessary.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for coming through for me. I like the sound of your first approach, but what keys do I use to select the words I want to insert into the first track. Also, I actually have three tracks in the project now, but can’t tell which track contains the words. I can’t seem to hear any of the tracks separately, although I soloed each track to hear them individually. Hope you can help more. Thanks.
Diane

Hi Diane
The mail did get through on this occasion, so hopefully that issue is fixed.
Now to replacing one word with three. I think the following approach should do the trick.
Delete the offending word and deselect that track. Then, on a separate track, record the three words to replace it. Select those words and copy with control-c. Select the original track and move the cursor to the point where you deleted the original word and paste with control-v.
Here is another approach, which I like but requires a bit of digital gymnastics. Create a new track in readiness for the new recording. Then delete the word you do not want. Deselect that track and arrow down to the new track and record the new material. You then need to get the exact length of the new material. Deselect that track and arrow up to the original track and select it. With the cursor aligned with the start of the new material, go to the Generate menu and arrow to Silence. Set the duration of silence to match the length of the material on the second track.
In summary, you delete unwanted material from the first track and replace it with new material on a second track. You then add silence on the first track so that later material gets pushed along.
Have I confused you completely?

Hi Everyone,
I apologize for changing the subject of this message. For some reason, I am subscribed to the list but my messages aren’t getting through. Please someone let me know if you receive this. I want to delete one word from a track and add three words in their place. Also, how can I get my messages through to the list. I hope someone can help. I’m desperate. Thanks.

*Subject:* [audacity4blind] Setting levels in Audacity
As promised some weeks ago, I have at last recorded a tutorial
on setting levels in Audacity. I started doing this several
weeks ago, but was overtaken by a nasty cold which made my
voice sound worse than usual. While not entirely happy with
the sound, I decided to stop fiddling and make it available as is.
Many thanks to Robert for information he has provided
previously on this topic and for reviewing my material. For
those who are interested, the recording will take up eight
minutes of your time. So, here it is, audacity-levels.mp3
