Selecting

Covid-19 lockdown means that I’ve started editing podcasts recorded over Skype/Zoom, with a noticeable lag between the speakers. I want to trim out the lag to create natural sounding overlaps, but I can’t do it with sync lock on without cutting off the other speaker/s.

What I’d like to be able to to is select the same amount of time on tracks, but in different places. At the moment I can select like this:

But I would like to select like this (for example):
ideal.jpg
Is this possible in Audacity? I’m using Windows 10 and Audacity 2.3.3, but this is a general usage question.

In Audacity it is only possible to select one time region at a time.

Damn. Never mind, thanks for letting me know.

If you know the length of the selection (look in the Selection Toolbar) you can reproduce that length in a different track in a different place.
