That way you can delete the audio within a track, but the track remains. You need to select the track by pressing enter and then select Remove Tracks from the Tracks menu. I record songs as well and I have assigned a short key to Remove Tracks so I can dump them right away when I've made an error. You can do that in the keybord tab in Preferences. By the way, pressing home and end will take you to the start and end of the project, not the track. Within a selected track, press j to go to the start of the track and k to go to the end.

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?
