[RWP] Editing only the selected track

[Tuukka Ojala]

Hi again! Since my last message I have played around more with Reaper and 
I'm starting to feel at home with it. However, this time I've come up with a 
question regarding operations with only the selected track.

In my project I have two guitar tracks which have to be aligned properly and 
cleaned out. Both tracks had some chords in the beginning which had to be 
removed. Now, when I selected only the second track (either pressing shift + 
down or alt + insert), selected the audio and removed it, the same amount of 
audio was removed from both tracks.
The same happened also when I was trying to move the second track to the end 
of the first track. I selected the second track, pressed shift+end and then 
cut the selection but then the audio in the first track was cut out as well.

Is there any way I could overcome this issue? I would be happy to move from 
Audacity to Reaper, but this kind of problems prevent me from using Reaper 
for any real work.

Thanks!

Tuukka
