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.
