Any way to freehand select?

I have a bunch of coughs, and clicks I am trying to remove from my recording, or reduce the volume of. I know there is spectral editing, which can help somewhat, but is there any way to freehand or magic wand select like you can in some programs? I don’t want to have to get a second application and lose quality going back and forth between the two, nor do I know a program that has these features, that isn’t super expensive, but maybe there is one that can be plugged in?

Envelope tool can locally reduce the volume …

Envelope tool will locally reduce the volume of everything,
whereas with spectral editing it is possible just to reduce/remove part of the audio spectrum.


Paul-L’s (free) DeClicker plugin can reduce/remove all the clicks in the selected audio … https://youtu.be/3zESSLTU4vw?t=211
