Audacity is a popular and widely used open source audio editing and mastering application. A label marker (also known as a track marker) is a tool used in digital audio editing and mastering programs to add captions and notes to specific sections along the editing timeline. Label tags can be used for a variety of purposes, but are often used by composers to mark specific parts of an audio track that have undergone special changes. Audacity uses a “track label” or “track label” system. In this system, a text label is entered on a separate track, next to the top/bottom of the audio track being edited. Once a label track is added to the editing timeline, the label can be added to any section. This article shows instructions on how to add track markers to track labels in Audacity.
