Cutting Out Unwanted Chunks

You can easily remove parts of tracks that you don’t want. Just select a section and then press the delete key on your keyboard. If you want to keep only a small part of the track and remove the rest, select Edit > Trim or click the Trim button on the Edit toolbar. This saves the part of the track that you have selected and deletes everything outside of it.

Sometimes you might need to silence a large section of a track while leaving the track intact. In that case, select the part you want to convert to silence, and then click the Silence button or select Edit > Silence Audio.
