Perfect, I'll give this a try. Thanks so much. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robbie To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, December 12, 2011 08:31 Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Help using audacity Hi Sean! Using the music track, you need to put the cursor where you want the spoken word track to begin. You can set the cursor by pressing shift-a, then adjust it with the arrow keys. Next make sure to unselect the music track and select the spoken track. Now you need to align the selected track with the cursor position. You'll find this option in the Align Tracks submenu located in the Tracks menu. Note that if you change the length of the music track later on, this will effect the position of the cross fade.

I have read the manual several times but I'm not able to figure out exactly what it is that I'm doing wrong. I am attempting to put together my first podcast. I have both the files I intend to use. My intro music & my recorded spoken audio. I am wanting the spoken audio to come in when the music begins to fade. I've already got the file set, the music fading in the right place but I'm not exactly sure how to place the spoken audio where I want it to go. I've tried pulling both files in to a table, selecting all of the audio on the spoken file & pasting it where I want it in the music track. No go. What is the best way to make this happen? Thanks again.
