Hi!
You needn't export the tracks you've edited in order to import them into a
different project. Instead you can open both projects, select the track in
the source project, press j shift-k to select the audio, press ctrl-c to
copy it into the clipboard, change to the destination project and press
ctrl-v to paste. The track will be added to the track table. This also works
with multiple selected tracks or an entire project. So you could do it track
by track or paste all the tracks into the destination project and align the
tracks as needed.
Of course you could also import the long roar material into the destination
project and edit it there, for instance by selecting the audio you want as a
separate track, pressing ctrl-x to cut, inserting a new track via the track
menu  and pasting the clipboard into the new track. This will save you the
effort of handling two projects, but it also means a lot of soloing and
unsoloing during the editing process.

Cheers! Robbie

Subject: [audacity4blind] Using the clipboard to mix packages

Hi there

Really starting to realise the power of Audacity and exactly what it can do.
I'm keen now though to use the clipboard to mix packages.

At the minute I am isolating clips within a longer piece of audio I'm
editing and then exporting them as individual wav files before importing
them back into a different project and laying them where I want.  I'm hoping
though there's a quicker way to do this using a clipboard or such thing.
Does anyone have any idea if this is the case?  I know how to manipulate the
cursor in order to put each track where I want and then use the gain
function etc to alter the levels, but it strikes me that there's bound to be
a quicker way to do this.

Thanks for any help

Johny
