Are you saying you want to have each selection be in its own file? If so,
you're doing it the hard way. Set the start and end markers at the
beginning and end of the first clip, then use save selection. Then simply
delete the selected material after you save it to make the remaining
material smaller and avoid the possibility of mistakenly including material
you've already saved in other clips.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Cutting Selection isn't working as expected
Hi,
I'm trying to separate a long list of voice clips that were sent to me in
one file. I made sure the whole thing was unselected, and then selected the
portion I wanted to move to its own file and used Cut. The whole thing was
cut out of the first window and pasted into the second.
I tried Split Cut, and that took the part I wanted out of the original file
so I could paste it into the second, but left a block of silence as long as
the audio I'd taken out.
I thought cut/delete was supposed to act on only the selected portion of
audio, and Split Cut/Delete deleted or cut everything around the selected
portion. Selecting and then deleting audio worked for me before in previous
versions of Audacity. The noise removal effect also didn't leave me with
whispery feedback when I removed noise, but that's beside the point.
Am I doing something wrong here? I thought it was prudent to unselect
everything and then reselect only the part you wanted to manipulate, and
last I heard, blind people couldn't create and move multiple clips around.
