I can't cut or trim audio?

Post by itroitnyah » Sun Jan 22, 2012 1:17 pm

With the selection tool, I select the section of audio that I want to remove, then I hit cut and nothing happens I can click on trim, nothing happens. When I click on "edit" in the top left hand corner, the drop down menu appears, and when I hover over "remove audio" none of the options are selectable. In fact, the only options that work in the "edit" drop down menu are the ones in the "select" menu within the "edit" menu... is there something I'm doing wrong?

Are you in Pause mode rather than Stop mode You need to be stopped and not just paused for editing actions to take effect.
