Thank you so much for these instructions. They were just what I
was looking for.

Hi Ella
Given that you are singing along with music, I am guessing that
you want to
silence the first five seconds of the track rather than deleting
five
seconds. To confirm, do you want your singing to stay where it
is and get
rid of noise before you come in? If that is what you want to do:
1. Select just the track with your voice on it by arrowing to it
and
pressing Enter (the screen reader should report whether it is
selected or
unselected).
2. Select the first five seconds of the track by whatever means
you prefer.
One option is to play from the start and hit x just before you
start singing
and then press shift-j. That will select to the beginning of the
track.
3. Press control-l. That will silence that section of audio.
If I have misunderstood and you do want to delete that first five
seconds,
select as described above and then press the Delete key.
Andrew

Hi everyone, I have a question about trimming audio from an
individual
track, NOT the whole file. Here's the scenario: I load a music
file into
audacity. Then, I record a second track with me singing. Once
that's done,
I want to remove the first five seconds from the new track that I
recorded.
Remember, I don't want to remove 5 seconds from the whole file,
only from
the new track with my voice on it. How on Earth can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
