that track was at a non-default rate

then you may need to use Set Rate

from the Track Pop-Down menu to

set the correct sample rate.

New Stereo Track - same as

above, but creates a stereo track.

You can also create a stereo track

by joining two tracks using the track

pop-down menu.

New Label Track - This creates a

new Label Track, which can be very

useful for textual annotation.

New Time Track - This creates a

new Time Track, which is used to

vary the speed of playback over

time.

Remove Tracks - This command

removes the selected track or

tracks from the project. Even if only

part of a track is selected, the entire

track is removed. You can also

delete a track by clicking the X in its

upper-left corner. To cut out only

part of the audio in a track, use

Delete or Silence.

Align Tracks... - All the Align

functions work on whole tracks or

groups of tracks, not on selections,

even if they span across multiple

tracks. They all operate by time-

shifting tracks (moving them left or

right), making it easier to

synchronize tracks or get rid of

silence at the beginning. The cursor

or selection stays in the same place

unless you use "Align and move

cursor...", below:

Align and move cursor... - same

as the functions above, except that

the cursor or selection is moved

along with the tracks. That allows

you to shift the tracks without losing

your relative place.

Add Label at Selection - This

menu item lets you create a new

label at the current selection. You

can title the label by typing with the

keyboard and then hitting "Enter"

when you're done.

Add Label at Playback Position -

This menu item lets you create a

new label at the current location

where you are playing or recording.

Do this if you want to mark a certain

passage while you're listening to it.

You can title the label by typing with

the keyboard and then hitting

"Enter" or "Return" when you're

done. Only available whilst audacity

is playing.

Generate Menu

If you choose an item from the

Generate menu when there are no

tracks in a project, a new track is

created. Otherwise, the current

track is used.

If a track is selected and the cursor

is placed in a single place in the

track audio is inserted at the cursor

position. The default duration is 30

seconds.

The audio created will replace the

any selection, otherwise it is

inserted into the track, shifting up

later parts of the track.
