Hello All,
This is my first Audacity recording.
When I start recording, then want to stop (for whatever reason), there is a line.... and when I restart the track the title line will go from "whatever the title is" #1 to "whatever the title is" #2 and so on throughout the track of my recording. I currently have "whatever the title is" #55.
I know this cannot be correct but cannot figure out how to either delete these lines or how to start and stop recording without the lines.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Karen

Whenever you stop recording in Audacity and then restart, it automatically thinks you want to start a new track. So all those lines are separating your tracks from each other. To join them together, just select them all with your mouse and click ctrl-j (command-j on a Mac) and that'll connect them all together into one track.KarenSmith wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 3:52 pm Hello All,

You don't necessarily have to stop and restart your recording if you're doing it all in one sitting. You can just let the recording keep going and then go back and delete the silences (or repeats, corrections, nose blowings, drinks of tea, interrupting noises, or whatever) after you've finished the whole recording. You'll likely have to do some editing in any case.
Hope that answers your question?
Cheers,
Winnifred

You can also just click on the line and it will remove it. At least if it's the line I think you are referring to.KarenSmith wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 3:05 pm Winnifred,

Yeah, I just click the line to make it disappear, but I usually only have a couple.
And you can also just pause, rather than stop-and-start or let the thing keep recording. I think it's P on the keyboard? That's what I do.

You folks haven't updated to Audacity 3.4.2, have you? The option to click the line to remove it disappeared with this version, much to many users' dismay (including me). They only later added the ctrl-j/command-j shortcut for removing them because of the outcry from users who frequently use this.
I'm used to it now, but it was a real pain at first.
I shall have to check out Pause. Haven't tried that yet. Might save me some editing time.
Cheers,
Winnifred

Argh! I greatly dislike when they significantly change things! Yes, I'm still back on 2.4.2.

And 3.5.1 just came out! Can't wait to find out what they did to that one. Though I'm going to wait a bit longer before updating. Or maybe I'll try and run both at once for awhile.
