Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can shift part of the track (not the whole track). In the screenshot below, I just want to shift the highlighted part of the track to left 0.1 second. However after I click the <-> button and move the selected (highlighted) section of the track, the whole track got moved

I'm not sure it there's a "best way", but you could copy that section and paste-into a new track where you can freely-align it. After clicking Copy, Generate -> Silence to mute the original selection.

Split the selected audio to a new track ("Edit menu > Clip boundaries > Split New")
Then use the
Time Shift tool to nudge it to the left.

Thanks for your information. It solved my problem
If I need to shift a few sections of the recorded track. I assume I just repeat the little trick, right? Is there any limit on how many tracks I can create in the same project?
Not sure whether or not it's doable. It would be great if future releases can let users shift just the portion they select/highlight on the track.
Thanks & regards,
Lee
