i use the file menu after getting the correct tracks focused. to fix what you have done. select the vocal track by moving your up and down arrows then when focused on the vocal track hit enter. that will select the track. then arrow to the other and make sure it is unselected. then go back to the vocal track and go file arrow to edit and then arrow up to move cursor and go to track start with enter. you then can go to file and arrwo to generate arrow down to silence hit enter and add 20 seconds of silence and hit ok. this will add 20 seconds of silence to the bocal track. the instrumental track will start and the vocal will start after 20 seconds. hope this helps ... william The audacity4blind web site is at //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, Audacity keyboard commands, and more...
