I did everything you said but the second track did not move like it was suppose
to. It still plays at the beginning of the first track. I am doing this as you
instruct and that’s how I have always been doing it but it will not work for
some reason. I can get everything else to work but this.

track
I started writing a response, became preoccupied with clearing up after
yesterday’s deluge and am starting over from a different angle. Let’s leave
aside your current project for the moment. What I have set out below may seem
rather tedious, but try to follow each step. If it does not work as
advertised, tell us what went wrong and how. Try following these steps,
ideally while wearing headphones:
1. Open Audacity and do not open any files.
2. With Audacity set to record from your microphone, press r to start
recording and count to ten.
3. Press spacebar to stop recording.
4. Press spacebar again to make sure you have been recorded and press
spacebar to stop playback.
5. Press shift-r to record on a new track and recite the alphabet to – say
– j or as far as motivation takes you. While recording the second track, you
should hear the contents of track 1 in your headphones.
6. Press spacebar to stop the recording.
7. Press spacebar to play and you should hear both tracks, starting from 1
and a respectively.
8. Press spacebar to stop playback.
9. At this point, neither track will be selected. Arrow up to track 1 and
press Enter to select it (the screen reader should say “Track 1 selected”).
10. Press spacebar to start playing.
11. When you reach5, press x to stop playback and place the cursor at that
position.
12. Press Enter to deselect the track (the screen reader should say “Track
1 not selected”).
13. Press down arrow to go to track 2.
14. Press Enter to select it (the screen reader should say “Track 2
selected”).
15. Press alt-t to open the Tracks Menu.
16. Arrow down six times to the Align Tracks submenu and press Enter.
17. Arrow down three times to Start to Cursor/Selection Start and press
Enter and the beginning of track 2 should be aligned with (or close to) 5 on
track 1.
18. The following steps are to confirm the fruits of your labours. press
Enter to deselect track 2.
19. Arrow up to track 1 and press Enter to select it.
20. Press j to go to the beginning of the track and press spacebar. You
should hear your counting up to 5 and, thereafter, the remainder of your
counting and the alphabet from the beginning.

Hi Curtis
I think we are almost there. From your description, you are setting the cursor
position with the sound track selected and the voice track deselected. You
need to do it the other way round – deselect the sound track and select the
voice track. Once you have moved to the required spot, deselect the voice
track, arrow to the sound track and select it. Then apply the align tracks
facility.

I have set the cursor with the x key and the left bracket key. I have the voice
track unselected and the sound track selected. I go to the aline tracks menu
and press enter on select cursor to start but the sound still plays at the
beginning instead of where I set the cursor. I must just be missing a simple
step or something.

Hi Curtis,
If you've got the voice track not selected, and the sound track selected, and
the sound track is not being moved as you want, then maybe there's a problem
with the cursor not being where you think it is.
A couple of ways of checking the cursor position: First, if you press spacebar
to start playback, then this starts from the cursor position. Second, when
there is no playback, if you press the left bracket key, then a set left
boundary position dialog opens, and the position shown is the cursor position.
How are you setting the cursor position to where you want it?
On way to do this is that during playback you can press the X key, which stops
playback and positions the cursor at the point where playback stops.
A thought that occurred to me is that maybe you are just pressing the pause
button during playback, and assuming that the the cursor is placed where you
press pause. This is not the case.
Do let us know how you get on, and describe any problems you are still having.
David.

Hi Curtis
Can you give more detail as to what you did and what is not working? For
example, is your narration and the sound effect on separate tracks? Are you
familiar with the concept of selecting and deselecting tracks?

As both Robert and I mentioned, there are numerous ways of achieving what
you want to do. Here is one option.
1. Record your narration onto a track, perhaps leaving a pause for the mud
splat.
2. Press j to go to the beginning of the recording and record the mud splat
onto a separate track with shift-r.
3. Select the track with your narration and place the cursor after the
relevant word.
4. Deselect that track and select the track containing the mud splat.
5. From the tracks menu, press Enter on Align Tracks 6. Arrow down to
Start to Cursor/Selection Start and press Enter.
That will move the mud splat from the beginning of the recording to the
point after the relevant word. An alternative is simply to copy and paste
material to where you want it. Depending on the result you are aiming for,
that may or may not be effective.

Could you give some more background or a link to the tutorial.
What kind of sound, a gong within a podcast, your voice at the fading out of
some intro music etc?
There are lots of ways to do it, depending on how the whole project is laid
out.
