AUDACITY

• How to do a split
  • Edit -> Clip-Boundaries -> Split
  • depending on whether it's a point vs. selection
  • CTRL-I
• Point vs. Selection
  • Point
  • A point will only be to where the cursor is placed and there isn't more than 1-cursor
  • Selection
  • To your current selection both the beginning-point & ending-point will be marked as splitted

DILEMMA

• I want to be able to do the same split formatting to multiple tracks that are the same.
  • This is an extremely tedious process if the split-amount is like about 500-sectors.

EXAMPLE

NOTE

• Having the ability to duplicate split-points from one layer to another
• will be more helpful with a keybind keyboard shortcut hotkey.

Answer 1

A selection in one track may be extended to cover all tracks with the shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+K

It's also in the Edit menu: Edit > Select > In all tracks

The split command (Ctrl+I) will then be applied to all tracks.
