How to import multiple files but work on them one at a time?

Post by pdun459 » Tue Jan 01, 2013 1:29 am

I'd like to be able to import multiple mp3s to the project window then edit them one at a time, but when I select one of them and try to listen to a portion of it, all the files in the window play at the same time. It seems like it should be a simple thing to correct, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how. Anyone know if there's a way to do what I'm trying to do?

Appreciate it. :)

You can use the SOLO and MUTE buttons to the left of each track. Click one track SOLO and that track will play by itself.
