Hi All.

Using the latest version of Audacity with Windows 7, I have a couple of
questions.

1.  How do you delete the middle of a recording?

2.  Is there more than one way of doing this?

I currently go to start point of where I wish to delete from, then press [.
At the end of the selection I press ] and then the delete key.

After doing this I cannot play any audio.

Any help, tips, advice or podcasts would be really useful.

Many thanks.

Ron

Yes, the Linux version of wxWidgets doesn't have proper support for 
screen readers, and this won't be fixed before Audacity 2.0, and maybe
for sometime after that because of Leland's other commitments. 

Scott, is it possible with what you are doing to have one track in one 
Audacity window and one track in another window, then switch 
between them? You can File > New to open a new project window 
then cut and paste tracks between the windows. ALT + TAB should 
switch between the project windows.
