Hi Jen!
In case you're not aware of j and k, j moves the cursor to the start of
the track and k moves it to the end. In combination with shift they will
select material from the current cursor position to either end.
To trim the left edge, put the cursor where you want the audio to start,
press shift-j to select from there to the beginning of the track and then
press delete.
To trim the right edge, move cursor to end of required audio, press
shift-k and delete.
Cheers, Robbie

Subject: [audacity4blind] please explain how to edit or trim a recorded
track
Hi, everyone.
Please help me understand how to edit a track. I have the track selected
and I've turned "solo" on. I know how to move the cursor forward and
backward and how to pause and restart the track. If, let's say, I want to
remove the beginning and end of the track, where there's ambient noise,
and keep the middle, which has isolated sound, how do I select the parts
of the track I want to delete? What settings need to be on or off? I know
that David has written a user's guide for Audacity and I give him
tremendous credit, because there's a lot I wouldn't have tried to do
without this guide that he took the time and effort to write, but a more
step-by-step explanation would help me and maybe others a lot.
Alternatively, if someone's already explained this and I can find it in
the archives, please let me know.
Thanks very much.
Jen
