Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the confusion. I imported the two tracks.
I just tried, deleting something from one of my two tracks. That worked
fine. The other track stayed untouched. I guess, what confused me was,
that, everytime, I moved the marker to select something, it moved to
that position in both tracks. No matter, if they are both selected or not.
None of the two tracks are synclocked. I only know, how to synclock all
tracks at once. Is there a way, to only lock one track at a time?
Thanks
Steven

Hi Steven
Firstly, I suggest that you import both files rather than opening them if you
did not do that. Secondly, the only way I can think of to get the behaviour
your describe is to apply synclock to the tracks. You would know if that had
happened because the screen reader would report that tracks are synclocked as
you arrow up and down.
Are you finding that when you - say - delete something from the first track
that the same amount of material is deleted from the second track or is it that
when you play the selected audio that both tracks play? If information is
being deleted from the second track, something weird is happening. If,
however, the section of both tracks play, that is normal.
Keep us posted as to progress.
Andrew

Subject: [audacity4blind] Editing only one of two tracks
Hello everyone,
I am not quite sure, how to start this. So, let me explain to you first, what I
am planning to do.
I have some DVDs here with a TV-Show on it. Recently, I acquired an audio
described version of that show, which is not included on the DVD itself.
However, the duration of the audio described version and the DVD-Version does
not match. I know, why that is, and I think, I know, what to edit, to make it
match.
So, I extracted the original audio track from the DVD, and opened it, together
with the audio described track in Audacity. My idea was, to use the original as
a guide line, to match the described version with.
Now, my problem is, that, everytime, I select something in the described
version, it also gets selected in the other track. Even though, the other track
is definitely not selected.
My question is, is there a way, to lock one track, so the cursor works only on
the one, that is selected?
Thanks in advance
Steven
