Hi, David. I appreciate your help. I don't really know what I did
differently, but I accomplished my editing project. Actually, I think your
last reply may reflect my confusion. I thought the left and right bracket set
the beginning and end of the selection. Your last reply seems to indicate that
these keys only report the position of the start and end of the selection.
To answer your question, the preference "select all audio in project, if none
selected" is not checked.
Here is the process that worked for me.
Make sure I am positioned in the track table on the left channel track that I
want to edit. It says "select on".
Pres Home to make sure I am at the beginning.
Press space bar to begin playback.
Press shift-a to stop playback and move the cursor to the stopped position.
I use the edit menu and select from cursor to the end of the track.
I use the edit menu to delete the selection.
I had to undo the delete and redo the selection a couple of times to set the
beginning of the selection at the right spot. I have not yet mastered the
keystrokes to preview the selection before I hit delete. I also need to master
the keystrokes to adjust the selection point by a small amount and preview the
new selection.
Thanks again for your patience.
Rob Armstrong

Hi Rob,
I'm not sure what's going on here (as you may have gathered).
In the tracks category of preferences, there's a check box "select all audio in
project, if none selected". By default it's checked, but it can be less
confusing if you uncheck this.
If this was previously checked and you uncheck it, does this make any
difference to the behaviour you're seeing?
How are you selecting the time range from near the beginning to the end of the
audio?
After selecting the time range you can check the start and end of that
selection by pressing left bracket and right bracket respectively, whilst there
is no playback. The keystrokes open dialogs with the relevant positions. Are
the values sensible?
David.

Hi Rob,
just to check this, what version of Audacity are you using?
David.

In the track table, when I navigate to the left channel, I hear "select on" (or
something like that). But I do not hear "lock".
When I navigate to the right channel, I do not hear "select on".

Hi Rob,
when your screen reader reads the name to the track, does it include the phrase
"sync lock selected"?

I first split a stereo file into 2 tracks. I make sure the left channel track
is selected (by pressing Enter on it). I also make sure the right channel
track is not selected.
My goal is to keep only a little bit of the beginning of the left track and
delete the rest of the left channel. I want to keep all of the right channel.
Unfortunately, when I delete the remainder of the left channel, it appears that
the right channel is also deleted even though the right channel (track) is not
selected.
Do you have any thoughts on what step I am leaving out? This is my first
attempt to edit a single track of a multi track project.
