Editing music - End and Begining

Yes, rather than having to listen to the recording AND watch the waves AND wait for the exact place to stop the recording to create the exact spot from which you wish to delete from (either at the beginning of the recording or at the end) AND then having to also hold down 2 keys (SHIFT AND A) it would be a lot easier just to be able to press one key to stop the recoding for editing.

So, just to double check …when I’m listening to a recording and want to stop it exactly at a certain point the only way to preserve the point at which I wish to stop to edit is by holding down the shift key AND pressing the letter A just at the stop spot?

So, in editing you sit there with the SHIFT KEY held down while listening to the recording and when you find your stop spot you immediately click the A key?

It’s your choice, as explained in my last reply. You can do what you suggest or you can decide on an available single key to press instead of having to hold SHIFT as well as press A.

For example, would it be convenient to press the / key next to right SHIFT instead of using SHIFT + A?

Or would you like to make SPACE do the same as SHIFT + A, so that SPACE always starts playback (or if audio is already playing, stops and sets the cursor at the stop point)? If you make SPACE do that, you will need to use the yellow Stop button if you want to stop and set the cursor back to where it started.
