Mixing in reaper

Hey. I want to ask experts: how to mix two tracks in reaper? okay, I know that when I load two tracks they started playing at the very beginning. But let's asume I have instrumental and vocal track, and I would like to start vocal track at the selected time (let's say 20 sec after instrumental track plays), so I need it to move somehow. What I need to do?

I know how to do in audio editors (add time selection and mix from current point), but no ideas with Reaper.

Hmmmm. Lets say that you have 2 tracks with 1 item on each one.
Go to the second one, ctrl right to select the item, ctrl x, move to the place where you want to have the vocals to be, and ctrl v...
Btw, I suggest to count in bars / beats, not seconds. Reaper has also bars and beats as the default moving markers. It can be changed, but for music, this is really the best way...
