How to edit tracks
Hi I have trouble with editing channels separately. Is it possible with audacity?
Re: How to edit tracks
To edit the channels of a stereo track separately, split the stereo track into separate left and right channels.
Click on the name of the track and from the drop down menu select "Split Stereo Track".
Click on the name of the track and from the drop down menu select "Split Stereo Track".

Re: How to edit tracks
Hello!
Thank you, but I have a bit more complicated problem.
I'd like to find out If I open a file, then I import another they are appearing in two channels. but I'm not able to mark only one channel. So whatever I'm doing with one channel the same thing happening with the other too. I cannot delete or move forward or backward one part only one channel.
Thanx for any help.

Re: How to edit tracks
OK, so you actually have two separate stereo or mono tracks.
You should be able to make a selection in one track and modify it without affecting the other tracks.
Do you have Sync-lock tracks on?
