Export Selection As MP3... - same

as above, but only exports the

current selection.

Export as Ogg Vorbis... - exports

all of the audio as an Ogg Vorbis

file. Ogg Vorbis files are

compressed and therefore take up

much less disk space, but they lose

some audio quality. Ogg Vorbis files

tend to take up a little less disk

space than MP3 for similar

compression quality, and Ogg

Vorbis is free from patents and

licensing restrictions, but Ogg

Vorbis files are not as widespread.

You can set the quality of Ogg

compression in the File Format

Preferences.

Export Selection As Ogg Vorbis...

- same as above, but only exports

the current selection.

Export Labels... - if you have a

Label Track in your project, this lets

you export the labels as a text file.

You can import labels in the same

text format using the "Import

Labels..." command in the Project

Menu.

Export Multiple... - lets you split

your project into multiple files all in

one step. You can either split them

vertically (one new file per track), or

horizontally (using labels in a Label

Track to indicate the breaks

between exported files.

Page Setup - configure how

Audacity will print out the track

waveforms using the Print option,

and what printer to use.

Print - Print out the main window

view from audacity showing the

tracks and waveforms.

Exit (Quit) - closes all windows and

exits Audacity, prompting you to

save any unsaved changes first.

Edit Menu

Undo - This will undo the last

editing operation you performed to

your project. Audacity supports full

unlimited undo - meaning you can

undo every editing operation back

to when you opened the window.

Redo - This will redo any editing

operations that were just undone.

After you perform a new editing

operation, you can no longer redo

the operations that were undone.

Cut - Removes the selected audio

data and places it on the clipboard.

Only one "thing" can be on the

clipboard at a time, but it may

contain multiple tracks.

Copy - Copies the selected audio

data to the clipboard without

removing it from the project.

Paste - Inserts whatever is on the

clipboard at the position of the

selection or cursor in the project,

replacing whatever audio data is

currently selected, if any.

Trim - Removes everything to the

left and right of the selection.
