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.

Re: Editing/Deleting Long Section Of Recordings ?
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/se ... olbar.html .
Or use the [ and ] shortcut to set Left and Right Selection Boundary.
