So, I’ve run into a problem with editing a duplicate track that I’ve never had before. I duplicated a vocal track to make a delay track to sit under the main vox and when I make certain changes to the duplicated version, it makes the same change to the original track without letting me have any say in the matter. 
For instance, I select a portion of the duplicated track to normalize, and it normalizes both it and the original track. Same thing happens when I pitch correct one track with Variaudio, it makes the change to both of them!
Anybody know how to fix this??
Thanks!

Both Tracks are both accessing the same underlying Audio File(s). So the changes you are making are not to the Track, rather they are to the Audio File.
If you Render In Place your duplicated Track it will create a new Audio File that the dupped Track uses while the original Track will continue to use the original Audio File. Now changes you make to one Audio File will be separate from the other.
Thanks for the reply! So how do I “Render in Place” the audio file?
I tried rendering in place and it has left the track silent.
It doesn’t normally do that unless the Track is not producing audio (for example Rendering a Muted Track will produce a blank audio file).
Can you post some screen shots (or an automated gif would be great too) of each step you took to do the rendering so we can see the sequence and settings used.
before you render, right-click the track head and ‘select all events’.
Also, it sound like you may have the 2 Channels ‘linked’ in the Mixer. Select both channels, right-click and select ‘unlink’.
This started happening to me few days ago in the Cubase 11 Pro with the midi parts. Copying the midi part into the other line or track makes it kind of mirrored copy, which behaves the same as the original (moving, muting, changing data, deleting). I know about the “shared copies” and how to make them, but this is not the case. Also this is happening when duplicating the tracks. The events on the track copy are mirrored and unable editing alone. Once I do the Duplicate selected track without data (from Macros menu), the data of the original track dissapear. which leads to two empty tracks.
Any thoughts?
You can convert a shared copy to a real copy by selecting Edit > Functions > Convert to Real Copy. This creates a new version of the clip that you can edit independently. The new clip is automatically added to the Pool.

If you have these tracks in the same folder, check if you did not accidently activated ‘group editing’ on the folder track.
