Hi Sean,
you appear to be doing the right sort of thing, so it's a question a working
out what's going wrong.
After you shift the voice track using the align with cursor command, then the
position of cursor should remain unchanged, that is its where you wanted the
voice track to start. So if you press space to start playback, you should hear
the start of the voice track.
If this isn't the case, maybe try something simpler first:
1. Just import the voice track into a project.
2. move the cursor to a few seconds into this voice track.
3. time shift the voice track so that is starts at the cursor position.
4. if you press spacebar it should start to play from the beginning of the
audio in the voice track.
5. If you then press home to move the cursor to time zero, and press space bar,
there should be a few seconds of silence before the audio starts.
Does this simple example work?
David.

Well, apparently I just can't get this. That didn't
work for me either. I imported both files, selected the music track, found the
location where I wanted the voice track to come in, placed the cursor,
unselected the music track, selected the spoken or voice track, alined the
tracks using the aline with cursor, & had the music track in both tracks in
the table then with no spoken track @ all. Exported it in MP3 just to make
sure,
& played the exported MP3 track which was just the music track.
