Here is more information. I figured out how to remove vocals from audio using audacity after listening to the Youtube presentation. However, since the keyboard method is so different from that described in the Youtube tutorial, it will require a full explanation, which I'll send in a later message. For now, I'll say that I figured out how to open the context menu from the keyboard and not requiring a mouse. I haven't done enough experimenting to see if you can do what you asked about by doing so. However, if you select all audio with control a, you can open the context menu. It may be that only selecting one track or part of one track will allow you to open the context menu as well. I'm saying that you can use the context menu key to open the context menu under certain conditions and the mouse need not be used. You or others may want to play with this further and experiment. I may do so but I'm not at all sure that I will.

I should add that I'll probably listen to the Youtube demonstration later today. Whether I know enough about audacity to convert what it will describe into simulated mouse or keyboard equivalents is, of course, something I'll have to find out as I listen.Gene----- Original Message ----- From: "Janelle Vacanti" <janellevacanti@xxxxxxx>To: <audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 9:44 AM Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Audacity Context MenuHi Gene,I am in the program's main window wen I can sometimes access the context menu. Some of the options the Context Menu has are Split Stereo Track Name and Spectrum. I'll send you a couple links that show you what I want to do. In this first link, instead of going from Mono to Stereo I want to go from Stereo to Mono.http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=BlindMonoToStereoThe second link is a youtube video that shows you how to remove vocals from a song using Audacity.http://youtube.com/watch?v=PqXiKYG3J7M If any of these links don't work, please let me know.

I've worked with the standard menus but I don't recall if I ever tried to work with any context menus. Certainly, just opening the program and using the context menu key produces no results. In what I've read about the program, I haven't seen any actions requiring or using a context menu. Where are you in the program when you can open a context menu and what sort of choices do you have?Regarding your earlier question, while I am not an expert in Audacity, I don't believe there is a way to remove singing from a recording. Your sound card may have such a provision but I believe you would have to use another recording program if you want to do this from within the recording program itself.Also, you can only remove singing if the singing is in the middle position in a stereo file. Probably a joint stereo file would allow you to remove it as well. However, you won't be able to remove singing using the standard method if the singer is on the right or left and the closer any voices are to the right or left positions, the less of the voices will be removed. The closer they are to the right or left, the more audio of the voice will remain.Gene----- Original Message ----- From: "Janelle Vacanti" <janellevacanti@xxxxxxx>To: <audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 10:27 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Audacity Context Menu Dear Audacity List Subscribers,Have any of you ever had problems accessing the Context Menu in Audacity?
