Hi Eric,
If you have more than one track in a project:
1. What you hear when you playback is affected by the solo and mute settings of
the tracks, but is unaffected by which tracks are selected. If one track is set
to solo (shift+s), then you'll only hear that track.
2. With no tracks set to solo or mute, then by default you'll hear all the
tracks on top of each other. This is because if you import an audio file, then
the audio in the newly created track starts at time zero. If you want the audio
in the different tracks to start at difference times, then you have to time
shift the audio in a track using the align tracks sub menu in the tracks menu.
Ask for details if you need them.
3. When you apply an effect, such as amplify or fade, then this is applied to
the selected audio, which is defined by which tracks are selected, and the time
range which is selected. For example to select all the audio in one track,
press ctrl+shift+a to deselect everything, move to the track, press Enter to
select the track. Then to select a time range which covers all the audio in the
track, press J to move the cursor to the start of the audio in the selected
track, and then press shift+K to select from the cursor to the end of the audio
in the selected track. Note that what audio is selected is unaffected by the
solo and mute settings of the tracks.
David.

SO I've asked this multiple times, but I think this time I can phrase
things correctly.
If I have more than one track in a project, Audacity seems to select
everything in the project as all tracks play at the same time no
matter what I specifically mark on or off as selected tracks. I've
changed the default preference of select all audio if none selected
and unchecked it.
Then with a bit of tinkering I found shift s can give me control of a
single track, for the most part. Effects done to it only happen to
that track, and in playback it just does that one until I toggle it
off.
But even when it is toggled on and I try to select a specific time, it
selects all the time regions at once.
Simply put, what I want to do is just select an individual track so
they can be edited and mixed differently.
