How Do I Remove Audio from a Selection in Audacity?

To remove audio from a selection in Audacity, you can use the "Delete" key or the "Cut" command. Here's how:

1. Select the audio you want to remove. You can do this by clicking and dragging your mouse over the waveform, or by using the "Selection Tool" (the arrow icon).
2. Press the "Delete" key on your keyboard or go to "Edit" > "Cut" to remove the selected audio.

Important Note: Deleting audio is permanent. If you want to keep a copy of the deleted audio, you can "Cut" it instead of deleting it. This will move the selected audio to the clipboard, allowing you to paste it back later.

Here are some additional tips:

• Use the "Zoom Tool" to get a closer look at the waveform and make more precise selections.
• Use the "Snap to Grid" option in the "View" menu to align the selection edges with the grid lines for more accurate editing.
• Use the "Undo" command (Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z) to reverse any accidental deletions.

By following these steps, you can easily remove unwanted audio from your recordings in Audacity.
