The Audacity Label Track

Let's take a closer look at the label track in Audacity. In the last video, I showed you one function of the label track in Audacity as a tool for separating groups of synced tracks. In this video, let's talk about using the Audacity label track as a label track.

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Very useful video. Thanks!

[@charlesabela9661]

Very Helpful and clear.

Thank you. I'm glad it was useful to you.

2:01 So that's why I couldn't type on my label track.
I would just click and nothing would happen, I thought that was a bug, or maybe it just worked on windows and not on linux, which would be very weird for open-source software like this. Thanks for this video, I will use it for hints I can read while I play my instruments. Being able to import sheet music would be better but the label will be good enough.

how do you identify the various "sounds" e.g. whether its a shaky or vibrating voice and buzzing sound , and how do you delete it for a sound track and smooth listening experience? Thanks.

I'm wondering: Is there a way to "nuge" or "pocket" certain parts of a track to match up closer to the grid? Like, say you've got a snare hit that is a little ahead or behind the beat in one section -Is there a way to just nudge that one hit over a bit without cutting/ pasting or sliding the whole track over?? Thanks.

thanks. when i chop the wave up the labels then end up in wrong place, is there a way to make the labels stay relevant to the sections of the wave?

[@MrAcEsNeIgHtS1188]

Thanks for the video! Is there a way to add a lyric sheet (text file) to Audacity projects?

[@LearnAudacity]

I’m not sure. I’ve never needed to.

If I need to send a track with labels to my friend for a review , how do I do this so my friend can view the track on his PC and see the labels as well?

[@MargaretWakeleyVoice]

Thanks for these tips. Is there a keyboard stroke that will let you jump to the farthest label? Or jump between labels?

[@LearnAudacity]

Yes. If you place the curser inside the label track and press Tab, it will cycle thru to the next label.

[@MargaretWakeleyVoice]

@@LearnAudacity Easy peasy - thank you!!!

[@josephmiller6677]

OK nice and informative video... thanks... and cool shirt to boot !!! Now I've got 300 words in a foreign vocabulary labeled so I can learn how to pronounce them for an audio book on Buddhism... is there a way to use a "find" or "go to" function the way excel does on a spreadsheet... I'm left with having to scroll endlessly looking for a particular word.... ???? Help... thanks, Best Always, Joe

[@LearnAudacity]

I use Descript. You can import your audio file into it and it turns it into a transcript. You can then find particular words. There's a free option you can try to see if it works for what you're doing.

[@barrygibson1848]

is there a way to cycle between multiple markers you have created, instead of manually moving the playhead cursor to a marker?

[@LearnAudacity]

Not that I'm aware of. That would be useful.

[@mohamedzaki7127]

Thanks but how to delete the label without deleting the whole label tab?

[@LearnAudacity]

On a Mac, Control-Click inside the label text, then delete label. In Windows, it's probably right-click. If you're on Windows, let me know what you find.

[@BboyAcademy]

Yeah, how do you save it so that your edits are saved too?
