Default Overlapping Selected Areas Question

Hello Reapers,

I just bought Reaper and started using a little, so I'm a newb.

When I split a track and slide a selected area to the left where it overlaps with another portion of the track, is it possible to mute the overlapped portion on the left side?

Background...I'm a singer recording vocals, and I take breaths/swallow while recording the track, so I need to split and slide segments to the left to get back in line with time and would like to mute the overlapped portion on the left if possible.

Can I do that? If not, what's the most efficient way to handle this process?

See screenshot if needed.

Thanks and Take Care,

Jeff

I think you want to go to Options menu and:

Turn off auto-crossfade media items when editing
Turn on Trim contents behind media items when editing

That should do it.
