剪下、複製、貼上

現在開始，你會遇到像這樣的.

它們代表某項功能的快速鍵. 可能只是單一個鍵(如：)，或者你必須同時按的多個組合鍵(如：). 你也可以自行建立快速鍵.

The most basic editing step is cut and paste. It's what people did with tape and it's easy with data in computers, so take a look at these basic operations, referred to as Cut, Copy and Paste. The next page will handle Silence, Duplicate and Split. You may also want to check out the reference section, so you'll know where to find all the tools and how to resize tracks for example.

It is assumed that you have a project open and that at least one track of audio material is present.

Let's take a look at this example of an Audacity window:

你可以從上圖看出，目前滑鼠的功能是 http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/images/tool_select.png. 它是用來選擇一段選取範圍. 另外， http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/images/tool_timeshift.png 也是很常用的. 它用來移動整個音軌的時間，當音軌不同步時就可以用這個工具來調整音軌的時間. 游標(在音軌與時間線上的細線)會保持在它的位置上，要對音樂作編輯，都要靠游標. 所以，如果你要把中間一段剪掉，首先，你必須把想剪掉的那段音樂選取起來.

決定選取範圍
To select the part you wish to cut, copy or paste to, use the selection tool Selection Tool. If it's not activated, do so now by clicking on it in the toolbar.

Now press and hold the left mouse button while you drag the mouse to mark an area.

This area is darker than the surrounding area of the clip. Note, that even though you can mark an area larger than or extending beyond the actual audio clip in the track, the operations will only work on the actual clip. Playback however will work outside the clip.

Press the space bar to listen to the audio in the marked area. a piece of audio in a track a marked

To extend or contract your selection, hold down the SHIFT button and click on the area you wish your selection to extend or contract to.

If you click at a spot that is on the right hand side from the middle of the current selection, you will set the right hand boundary of your new selection.

剪下選取範圍
Cut the selection by selecting "Cut" from the Edit menu ... or press CTRL+X. Before the cut 	After the cut an area is selected   	   after cutting the selected area

To undo this operation, select Undo in the Edit menu or press CTRL+Z

Copy will copy the selection to the clipboard.

You can then paste that data back in to any track by clicking where you want this audio to be inserted and select Paste in the Edit menu,

or press CTRL+V.

Thus pasting is the opposite of cutting. You can also copy material, make another selection with the mouse and then paste. This will replace the selected material with the contents of the clipboard, no matter how short or long either of them are.

during all operations of this kind, the bottom row of the screen will display two things, namely the start time and the end time of your selection. The display to the left if that called "Project rate:" and its value, defaulting to 44100, can be changed by clicking on that number and selecting another from the drop-down menu. This sets the sample rate of everything you produce in audacity.

All files, no matter which will be played at the project rate, and exported at that rate. Should the sample rate of a track be different from the Project Rate, these tracks will be resampled to the Project Rate as the project is played back or exported.

Audacity will not change the sample rate of any imported audio. If you want to change the rate of an imported track for any reason this can be done using the Rate option on the track pop-down menu.
