Hi, there's a jaws guide for audacity 1.3.4 at: http://tinyurl.com/8h99rq and there are not too many differences between 1.3.4 and the latest version which is 1.3.6. For details on the many methods available for selecting audio, see the moving the cursor, and selecting audio sections. David. original message: Hi all, How does one go about these? 1. Selecting the first several seconds of the recording and deleting it 2. Selecting a few seconds in the middle of the recording and deleting it 3. Selecting the last several seconds of a recording and deleting it Thanks. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
