From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd be happy if I could just "hide" a section of audio without needing to delete it. I'm often trying to shorten musical pieces and having a way to hide/unhide a section would be so much easier than relying on delete/undo.

This should be possible since version 3.1: https://support.audacityteam.org/additional-resources/changelog/older-versions/audacity-3.1

The "smart clips?" Not quite... They're only at the end of a clip to shorten it. I need to make multiple cuts in the middle.

Ah, I think that isn't possible. You would have to split the track and then use the smart clips feature. Or you use a different tool like someone else mentioned.

So - lets say I'm taking a long piece of music and making something like a "radio edit".

I decide a chorus can go, maybe the another section, perhaps a repeated phrase here or there. But now it's too short so I want to put that chorus back in. Or change how much of the chorus was removed since I removed too much.

There isn't an easy way to undo that delete without ctrl+z'ing my way back through all my deletes. I want something like a "hide column" feature from spreadsheets where I can just skip over that section but not really delete it. And to have a marker so I can undo it and change it later.

Might be a niche request but it's something I need to do from time-to-time.
