Hi Egbert!
I'm afraid I can't help you with the silence problem. I'd just shorten the
music. Or better still, record the voice track with the music being played
back, so I can hear where I am and when to finish.
Regarding the selection, if I wanted to remove the last 30 seconds of a
track I'd do the following.
Press enter to select the track. Move the cursor to the beginning of the
unwanted audio. Shift-A will set the cursor to the current position during
playback. Then press shift-k to select from the cursor position to the
end. So now the unwanted audio is selected and I can press delete.
The same goes for unwanted passages in mid track. In that case you would
press shift-A and select by pressing shift plus the left and right cursor
keys. If you wanted to remove a cough for example, you could select it and
then press c in order to hear what the audio would sound like if the
selected passage were removed.
Isn't it just great? I love Audacity. Brilliant!
Cheers, Robbie

Hi Robbie,
sorry, maybe i didnot make myself clear enough.
Imagine i have spoken something of a voice track.
The music underneeth is just a bit to long, but the best way to fill the
gap is to make some little pauses in my voicetrack.
I would like to insert one tenth of a second or some other bit just to
come to the fitting point, so that it sounds like i want it to.
then about the selection.
when i have a track and select the bit i want, then its not possible for
me to throw the rest away.
if i want the beginning and say the last 30 seconds are waste, i can not
simply save the selection or select via cursor to beginning or cursor to
end. When i do that, my whole track seems empty and there is no sound.
what i can do is slect what i want, and keep some bit at the end. Only
then the audio will go and my track stays in place.
that is not very efficient and i wander what i do wrong smile.
Egbert
ps. the other options i ll try. but maybe i have to say, i am working
audacity on my mac.
