Hi Andrew!
That makes almost sense to me now, so if I used synclock tracks how do I define
the group of tracks? It sounds like I am doing something wrong when I just
select the tracks, and then choose to synclock them, or am I actually doing
something right here? :) If I understand this correctly this feature would be
great when adding effects such as compression to multiple tracks without
affecting all tracks in the project.

Hi Thomas
I think I understand the sync lock feature correctly from a quick read of the
Manual and brief experimentation. Once you have sync locked tracks, you don't
have to select more than one in the group to apply whatever you do to a
selected one to others in the group. Because you selected two tracks,
deleting a portion would remove it from both tracks regardless of
whether sync lock is turned on or off.
Now to your second question. Think of Audacity a bit like a word processor.
Let's assume you moved your cursor to one minute into the track, selected
some audio and deleted it. Your cursor will still be at that point. To hear
earlier audio you will have to move the cursor to the left. On the other
hand, if you play from the beginning and stop by pressing the spacebar, next
time you press the spacebar to play it will start from the beginning
because you have not moved the cursor.

Hi!
Sorry for this (perhaps) newbie question, but I believe I have misunderstood
something for ages regarding Audacity, so can someone please tell me how the
following is possible?
I have given the 2.1 release of Audacity a testdrive on my Mac, and it works
quite well so far, so these questions can hopefuly be answered by anyone...
I imported three files to Audacity and selected two of the three tracks. Now
everytime I remove something from the selected tracks it just works without
having to synclock tracks... Why is that?
I thought I had to synclock tracks before making that kind of edits.., but
it looks like something has changed much here since I last played with
Audacity for real. :)
Why should one now use the synclock tracks option if Audacity does this by
default?
Another thing, which I always forget when I revisit Audacity is why the
cursor jumps to the start of an edit... Suppose I have deleted a few seconds
into a file and when I playback the audio, I hear from the position of my
edit. I have to press the left arrow and then move the cursor
backwards again to hear more of the audio... Can I change this or how did
some of you get use to this?
Thanks in advance fonyr advice.
