I just transfered my first recording to my MAC. I am lost on how to track with audacity. can anyone help me out on this?
1) When you open the recording you will have one long file.
2) Go the wherever you want to split your first track and click that with the mouse, you will leave a line across both the left and right channel after doing so.
3) Go to Edit, Select, Start to Cursor - this will highlight the area to the left of your line
4) Go to Edit, Split or Command Key & 'S'
5) The newly split track will drop below the longer wave form
6) Continue to do this for each track
7) When you are done click & hold the cursor on the top track, which is the last track of your file, and drag it to the bottom of your track list
8 ) Go to File, Export Multiple to export all tracks as individual tracks
9) Select Export Format, typically to WAV
10) Select Export Location
11) Select Name Consectively under Name File and add Name File Prefix
12) Click on Export
All files will be exported as individual tracks
Hope this helps.
