Hi Jacob Not sure that I understand all your question, but I think you're ask about align tracks, like you have a narration track, a backround music, and you would like the backround to play at a specific time. If I right, you can do it by the folowing steps 1. Example, I have track 1 is narration voice, and track 2 is backround sound, press enter to select trak 1 2. Play track 1 until the time you'd like to add backround music. I recommend you solo this track before playing for easy. 3. Press p to pause, and [ to start selecting current track from this position 4. Press spacebar to stop playing, and enter to deselect current track 5. move to track 2 (backround sound), press enter to select this. 6. Go to track menu (alt+t), align track sub menu, and choose align with selection start. Now the start position of track 2 set to the position where you start selecting on track 1.

Either way, what it comes down to is, how simple/easy/possible is it to have like two tracks, and then shift the playback starting position of one of them to something like a specific time? Or is it still best to try initiating playback on original track, stop it at right time, and then paste second track in at that position, or something, from another audacity project? I would just have thought it should be simple enough to take one specific track, and just move/shift it's playback starting position to like a specific time, in relation to something like a global track/playback time frame, etc., and this is also partly since would be easier/simpler to be able to do this repeatedly to sort of fine tune something's playback starting time, instead of possibly having to over and over again paste/insert it at different points each time, and then if not completely happy with result, remove it and try again from scratch..?
