I need to edit out some dead air at end of recording and don’t know what “Cut” or “Clip” mean, nor how to use them, or even if they are correct to edit out dead air. I am afraid to lose what I have recorded and have to record it over again.

Just select the dead air you want to remove then use Edit > Delete or its shortcut Ctrl + K
