I’ve seen other posts on the topic of editing/deleting sections of recordings; by highlighting and then deleting the passage.
This I understand and already use, however, this method is ok for small sections but it’s not practical for long sections.
For example, I recently recorded a 3 hour session and it was necessary to remove a section that ran from 38m 18s to 2 hours 45s and to drag my mouse over a section that long would have been tedious.
What process is best for removing long sections of recording ?
Many thanks.
If you don’t want to zoom in and out you can type the selection start and end or length in Selection Toolbar at the bottom. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/selection_toolbar.html .
Or use the [ and ] shortcut to set Left and Right Selection Boundary.

If you haven’t already sussed, I’m an oldie - used to editing recording tape on studio R2R’s with an editting block, chinagraph pencil, cutting blade etc…and I can still do it at the age of 67 !
