    There's a simple trick to avoid such issues like at 9:00 : Just click Z on your keyboard (shortcut for "Find Zero Crosssings") each time after you have selected a part of your track with the selection tool. It automatically moves the start- and end-position of your selection to correct positions and you will never have problems with cracking or plopping sounds anymore ;-)

Also it showed you can make decent sounds without buying any fancy equipment. Love how you put so much effort to make sure all the effects in paid software can be found in Audacity.

    You can also use a dog clicker and record all your sounds in one go. Just pop the clicker in between and it will create a noticeable spike in the wave form to mark or delimit the distinction where your sounds can be found and split them from there to multiple tracks, etc. Btw I love watching your vids, you have s great personality and helps me stay sane when I feel like I'm not going anywhere as a dev lol gives me new ways to approach my dev and design
