How do I generate a tone in only one channel, with the other channel being silent? And how do I generate separate tones in each channel?

When you generate your original tone, make sure it's a stereo tone you create. Any subsequent tone should be mono. Now, using the channel controls:

... you can mute one of them - I've muted the RH channel. This means that any operations you carry out will only happen to the 'live' channel (mute button is ringed in red). So if you copy the second (mono) tone to that channel, it will leave the original alone, and you'll have the second tone on the other channel, so you'll hear both of them when you un-mute. If you just want the other channel silent, it's even easier - mute the one you want to keep, select Effects>Silence and it will knock out the other one completely.

I generated the stereo tone. I then muted one channel and tried to generate a mono tone that I could insert into the live channel as you suggested, but Audition would not allow me to do that. So, I am stuck. It won't allow me to generate a mono tone. Very difficult software to use.

I clicked File, New, Audio File, Mono. A window opened but there is no signal. It did not give me the chance to select a frequency or anything else.

What would be the point of explaining this to you in words and clicks when you don't read them? This is what I said above, that you have completely ignored:

"As for your new mono wave, you didn't watch carefully enough what I did in the video. If you tried to generate another wave with the first file open, it wouldn't let you - as you discovered. So your only option is to start a new file, in this case a mono one. Having done that, and have it displayed as the active file, then you go to Generate and create your new tone. Then do the cut and paste bit and you're good to go."

I should add that everybody who learns to use Audition does that best by actually using it and exploring the options, rather than being led by the nose. All the information you need is in this thread, and now I think it's up to you to discover about this for yourself.
