OK so I try explaining For example you have a narration track, which an introduction of your podcast, and you want the music plays at the last sentence, do the folowing Ctrl+shift+I import the narration and the backround music Now you have two tracks in the project, use up/down arrow to navigate to you narration track and press Shift+S to solo it Press spacebar to play the solo track until the position where you want the music starts Press Shift+A to stop, and move cursor to that position Now make sure the narration track is not selected, and the backround music is selected Alt+T to open the track menu Down Arrow to align sub menu, Open it and choose Start to cursor selection start Now press home to move to the start of the project, and spacebar to listen. Remember to unsolo your narration track by pressing Shift+s again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stewart A Overbey Jr. To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 9:52 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Multiple tracks and adding sound effects Thanks Cuong, I understand your good reasoning for using multiple tracks now. I want to insert background music or noise during a selected part of an audio recording. That is the second part of my previous question.

With multi track editor, I can import all of my tracks and adjust volume, or anything I like independonly in each track, and if I don't like, I can change by import the original track again. Not sure I understand the rest of your question correctly, but you can find the answer by reading the guide for using Audacity with Jaws and other screen reader from http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.0.5-Guide.html HTH Cuong On 11/21/2013 9:18 PM, Stewart A Overbey Jr. wrote: Hello All, I'm producing a podcast for the first time, so, I'm using Audacity instead of my normal audio editor Goldwave. My questions to date are: Why use multiple tracks? And perhaps related, how can I rap music or a special effect around a particular section of a recording? I've been reading your help files, and am trying to learn from them. Thanks for your commitment.
