Hi Steven
Here is some food for thought. There would be little point in having a
multi-track recorder if moving to a point on one track did not move to the same
point on other tracks. With your current project, you need to play both tracks
together to know whether the audio descriptions are in the right place.
There is no need to synclock tracks for what you are doing. In fact, it
strikes me as something you should not do in this case.
Looks like you firmly under your control.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Editing only one of two tracks
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.

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
