You cannot cut from a single channel in a stereo file since the two channels in a stereo file must always be equal in length. To shift a single channel in time, choose Delay/Echo from the Effects menu, and choose Simple from the submenu.

Cutting data from the beginning of a very large file will take a long time to process because large amounts of data need to be moved. You can preview a cut by selecting the data you want to cut and choosing Preview Cut/Cursor from the Edit menu. Also, the Playlist can be used to make instantaneous nondestructive cuts.
