problem re-mastering tracks. Help!

I'd be really grateful if there's a solution to the following problem: I recorded four guitar pieces on one track yesterday. I recorded one tune, pressed stopped and then recorded the next one etc. I ended up with a large track and it wouldn't up-load to the forum. So I re-mastered the first track and that was fine. When I tried it on the second tune - ie, pressed 'master' from the beginning of that tune and stopped at the end of it, I got a silence the length of the first track before the second tune played. I thought it would be simple to just splice them into separate pieces. Can I somehow delete the silence at the beginning? It was silly of me to do it this way, but maybe there's a way around it other than starting again.
If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we'd be so simple, we couldn't...

I know there is an erase function (but that just creates silence as opposed to moving the remaining data), but I don't know if the BR has a delete function.

You could always cut and paste the sections you want to other tracks.

Very nice post with the nylon string, by the by.

You can use the Track Copy feature to copy each song to its own track. Specify time 00:00:00-00.0 or measure 001-1 for the "To" parameter so that the song is copied to the beginning of the track. See the Editing section of the BR manual.

But a better way is to learn how to edit files in Audacity. It makes it easy to break a track into separate sections because you can see the silent sections between songs.

Download Audacity 1.3.12 here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
