select audio help

Post by biferi » Thu Mar 31, 2011 6:09 pm

I did know how to do this but I frgot.

I put my Cursor at the stop I want it to end.
So I know everything to the Left is what I want to keep.

So I go to Edit and then Select and pick Select to Left of Posion.

And a box opens with how long in seconds already has played so I click ok.

It does not wok.

I think I have it but I know I just need help on how to do it right.
I forgot a step I think?

To select from the start to the cursor position, press "Shift+Home key".
