Hi Jacob,
in the jaws guide to audacity, in the more advanced editing section, there's a 
sub-section on time shifting one or more tracks. As described there, the 
selection start spin box in the selection bar is very useful for fine tuning 
when you want the audio in a track to start.

David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Moving a track's starting position, relative to other 
tracks



Know have asked something similar in past, but 
couldn't find any references to this in my mail archives, etc. - 
sorry.

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..?

TIA

Stay well
