Nice one Steve. Thanks for that. Seems like I’m on the right road, even if it’s a long road. It’ll get less cumbersome I suppose with time.

Whatever works for you is the best approach. There is nothing wrong with the way that you are doing it now, other than it is a little arduous. I've used that approach myself when working on very large complex projects and find it a good way to keep organised in complex projects. Copy and pasting between different projects as Robbie suggested is another method, though you need to be very careful if you are using multiple WAV, AIFF or FLAC audio files. If you use that method, go to "Edit > Preferences > Import/Export" and set "When importing audio files" to "Make a copy of uncompressed audio files before editing (safer)". The method that I generally prefer is to do it all in one project but with multiple tracks. As a simple example, if you want the start and the end sections from a longer track, select the start section and duplicate it to a new track, then create another new track (Tracks menu) and copy and paste the end section from the original track to this third track. Then mute the first (original) track. Muted tracks do not play and are not included in the exported files, but still exist in the Audacity project, so you can copy and paste additional sections as required.In effect, you are using the original track as one giant clipboard, which you can mute when not needed.

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!

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.
