When the dialog appear, enter the time where you want to mark the end of selection, press enter. E-mail me if you have any confusion Cuong. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 9:19 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Deleting first 2 3 seconds of a track Hi All. Now I understand the difference between labels and selections, I am still struggling to perform a task. I want to delete 2 seconds roughly at the start, but don't seem able to do this. I have tried left bracket where I want the recording to start, then Shift plus j. This seems to loose all sound. Similarly I have tried pressing p for pause where I want it to start, and Shift j again. Any advice gratefully received.
