Hi Egbert, concerning adjusting a selected time-range. When a time range is selected, if you press any of the keystrokes for moving the cursor, then the time range is deselected. So if you press the arrow keys, then the time range is deselected. You can adjust the time range using these keystrokes: - To move the end of the selection to the right, so expanding the time range, pressShift + Right Arrow. - To move the end of the selection to the left, so contracting the time range, pressCtrl + Shift + Left Arrow. - To move the start of the selection to the right, so contracting the time range, pressCtrl + Shift + Right Arrow. - To move the start of the selection to the left, so expanding the time range, pressShift + Left Arrow. Alternatively, you can adjust a selected time-range using the selection controls on the selection bar. In the jaws guide to audacity 2.0, in the selecting audio section, there's a sub-section on adjusting a selected time range.

Here are three links, with some impresions of my first hour work. first is an original 1 minute, podcastintro, made in the not V O audacity, so terrible bad smile. the next one is the voice, without music and the last one could be an intro, but just made for fun. Would you please shoot on it? I know it is far from good, but any tips or critics are very welkom! While making this first steps, two things seem to me, rather ineficient. first i try to make the voice as loud as possible, but by normalizing, i have to do that, bit by bit. Normalizingthe whole file does not work. is there a way to do it faster and with better result? the other question is about markers. when the left and right one are set, i wanne hear the result by key C. but when i wanne change things then, the selection gets messed up. for the left marker i use the erro keys and for the right one, command shift errows left and right. but after the preview with C, that does not work nomore. hope you wanne get me some further. Here are the links Thanx and have a great weekend, Egbert http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10806983/zo%20dus%20niet.wav http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10806983/intro%20plus.wav http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10806983/intro%201%20soft%20allison.wav The audacity4blind web site is at //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, Audacity keyboard commands, and more...
