Hey there, what version of Audacity are you running?
Have you looked at the Quick Settings options when the Audacity scripts are
loaded? Try JAWSKey+'v' and check out the different options to see if those
help you get the feedback you want.
Peace,
David

Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Mixing and Manipulating Individual Tracks
Thank you. Your instructions to align the tracks worked, but it does not seem
Audacity is consistently responsive to keystrokes. I’ve made use of the
starting and ending cursors, but they do not always seem to register. Shortcuts
that ought to work do not seem to work since Audacity continues to see no audio
selected when I need to make larger changes. I thought it might be an issue
with the JAWS scripts, so I disabled them and at least benefit from hearing
when I have pressed the left and right brackets. If the learning curve here is
going to be cumbersome, I may as well jump in all the way and switch to Reaper
where I have at least found a complete tutorial where I can get some step by
step instruction. I have no illusions my experience there will be easier, but
all things being equal, except price, I may as well learn the hard way but rely
on a more consistent experience. Thanks all for your awesome help to this point.

Good morning to you again, Joe!
I am not sure that the YouTube tutorial that you are referencing is
all that good an idea for what you are wanting to produce. Also, you
are not moving your markers correctly to select segments or full
tracks. In my tutorial sessions with other audacity newbies, I tell
them there are two things you are selecting. One. You are selecting
the track as a whole. two. You are selecting the contents within that
track with the markers. you must understand these two concepts in
concert in order to manipulate the audio effectively. Again, I can tutor you
if you would like.

I think I may’ve found a solution to my earlier question. I found a
YouTube video saying I can cut the second track and paste it into the
point in the first track where I want the merge to occur. Here’s the
thing, even though JAWS tells me Track 2 is selected, it won’t let me
use CTRL X. It says no audio is selected. This is the same error I
get when I try to remove a track. Even though JAWS tells me a track
is selected, I can’t use the Delete key to remove it. I thought it
might be a JAWS script issue. I removed the scripts, but no, Audacity
still refuses to acknowledge a track is selected. Rather frustrating.
At any rate, thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Thanks again to those of you who provided links to the JAWS scripts.
Very much appreciated.
I have a question, and so far I have not been able to figure it out
from reading the manual or listening to the few audio tutorials on
Audacity I’ve managed to uncover. If anyone has a lead on a good
audio tutorial, please let me know.
Here’s the scenario: I have two tracks. Track 1 is intro music.
Track
2 is a voiceover. I start playing Track 1 and pause at the point I
want to mix in the voiceover. I use the left bracket to presumably
set the starting marker. Then I go to Tracks on the menu bar and use
the Mix and Render to New Track to, presumably, bring in the
voiceover at the starting marker. Except, Audacity is not doing this for me.
Instead, it’s starting Track 1 from the starting marker but bringing
in the voiceover track at the same timeframe as Track 1 rather than
mix in the voiceover from the beginning. Also, the third track just
gets labeled Voiceover, after the name of the original file, rather
than Track 3.
Can you help me properly mix, or insert, the two files?
Is there a better way of organizing the tracks so that I can see all
three tracks but individually manipulate them without disturbing the
rest of the project?
Forgive me. I hope I’m using the right terminology.
Thanks so much for helping out this clear novice. :)
