Trouble editing one of two tracks [SOLVED]

Audacity Help Forum macOS
1

Hello,

I have two tracks that I’ve imported, both audio files of music that I’m trying to edit so that they can be played at the same time. When I click on one track and highlight a section I want to delete, the corresponding section of the other track is highlighted by these little grey clocks. Anything I do to one track is also done to the other, and I would like to be able to edit tracks individually. Also, when I try and use Time Shift, both tracks move together. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
GNH

You have inadvertently turned on “Sync Lock”.
