Check the join when Audacity crossfades two clips across a gap
Crossfade Clips uses selected audio from two clips and ignores the intervening empty space. Review the result when a deliberate pause or video timing matters.
Audacity 4 clip gain keeps applying after you leave its editing tool
Switching off clip gain editing returns clicks to selection. The saved gain curve remains attached to the clip and continues shaping its level.
Choose the track scope before a ripple delete in Audacity 4
Closing a deleted gap on one track can move it relative to other tracks. Choose the explicit gap and track scope which matches the project’s timing requirement.
Keep the original Audacity 3 project when handing work to Audacity 4
Audacity 4 converts .aup3 projects to .aup4 and cannot save the converted project back as .aup3. Plan the handover around the editor version required for future revisions.
