Moving multiple clips on multiple Tracks in Audacity

Question

I made a Audacity Project with multiple tracks and multiple clips on these tracks. Now I want to add a pause at a point but I can not figure out how. Moving every clips on every tracks after this point manually would be really painful, is there an alternative? I am using the latest version of Audacity on Windows 10.

I hope this is not a wrong place for Audacity.

Answer 1

Ok this is awkward, i struggled for days to find the answer so i decided to ask a question. I just found a way to solve it.

1. select the point you want to add a break.
2. drag across multiple tracks to select them. (did not you you could do that)
3. Shift-K to select everything after it.
4. drag to the right.

I am sorry for this but i think it may help someone.

Selecting multiple tracks with Ctrl shft or Ctrl does not work for me, I can only select one individual track at the time, weird. I did find this useful thanks. I have not figure out how to do it if tracks are not contiguous – Boating

Answer 2

This helped me, thanks. I don't understand which tools you are describing above so here is what I figured out after reading above:

1. Start with selection tool (F1 key)
2. Click and drag diagonally every track and time period to move - you are selecting both multiple tracks with the drag and also a time period but you can grow the time period after selection with: Shift K (not ctrl K). It selects everything to the right as well! nice.
3. Switch to time shift tool (F5 key). Click anywhere in the selected region and drag right
