I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post the following.
As I don't use Audacity all that much I am not overly qualified in its use and or features.
I currently have to edit a recording that was done about 55 years ago and ultimately converted into a VERY limited vinyl LP --- the original tape has long since gone AWAL. The audio has been captured by the client from the vinyl LP into Audacity then saved to a usb stick as an Audacity AUP file which I have since imported into my copy of Audacity.
At one point in the recording I need to be able to cut into the audio and remove a section and then replace this with another section from elsewhere in the track --- I will almost be cutting in the middle of a sung line at the end of a word and then from the other section cutting just before the next word and ultimately joining the two together so that the song flows easily.
I can do this on my digital recorder quite easily, but can not see how to do it in Audacity.
Basically what I need to be able to do is what we did on analogue reel to reel recorders all those years ago --- hold both spools and slowly manually advance/rewind the tape across the playback head so that you could hear the audio (definitely not at play speed or pitch) and by rocking back and forward position exactly any required point on the tape, mark the point and cut the tape, then do this for the end of the section to be cut, remove the unwanted section and splice the required section into the tape.
Can this be done in Audacity and if so how.
