Playback Tips and Tricks
As you recall from diligent study of Chapter 1, by default Audacity plays all tracks at once when you press the playback button. Pressing the spacebar also starts playback. To listen to one track, click Solo in the Track menu. To listen to some tracks but not all, click the Mute button on the ones you don’t want to hear. ctrl-U mutes all tracks, and shift-ctrl-U unmutes all tracks. Position the cursor on the Time Scale at any starting point you want; when it changes to a little hand, click to start playback at that point. You can skip all over your track this way without using the Stop/Play buttons.
