Editing individual tracks

Post by Dabell43 » Fri Aug 17, 2018 11:17 pm

I have a stereo recording in which I'd like to vary the levels of one track only. Is there a way to do this? I only seem to be able to select both tracks. It's probably in the manual, though I haven't come across it.

Split the track, apply the effects that you require to the two new single channel tracks, then join the tracks back together into a stereo track. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spl ... racks.html
