Hi Cliff, I'm not sure what's going on with too many tracks being added to your project. Remember that when you start a recording by pressing R a new track is automatically added to your project - you don't have to manually create a new track for the recording. If you open audacity, and then immediately add a track to the project, is more than one track added? If so what are the names of the tracks?

The first problem I encounter is that I start by recording one mono track. Then when I go to record another, there are three tracks with the same music on them. So I try to delete one of them using the following steps: 1 Use the arrow keys to select the track. 2 Press the Home key to get to the start of the track. 3 Place a [ there, and press Okay on the resulting dialog box. 4 Press the end key to get to the end of the track and place a ] there. 5 At this point the whole thing should be selected so I press the Delete key. When that fails I try selecting Delete from the Edit menu. Neither deletes the audio. Alternatively, I've tried going to the start of the track, holding down the shift, going to the end of the track, then trying to delete. I've tried that approach forwards and backwards. Lastly, when I add a single new track to the project two more appear on the screen. So it seems I have two problems. How to delete, and how to add one track at a time. What am I doing wrong here?
