Re: cutting bits of audio clip
You can use the magnifier tools to zoom into the segment of show that you want to delete. Then click and hold at the beginning of your sound and drag to the end. Let go and press Delete.
I usually do this in two or more steps depending on how large the selections are. Delete a major part but not all, and keep zooming in and deleting more and more until I delete all of the unwanted sound.
If you play the work and discover you deleted too much, use Edit > Undo and the last edit will vanish.
