Cut a Selected Segment
The Cut operation removes a portion of audio defined by the position of the edit marks.
There are two reasons a Cut operation might be performed:
• A portion of audio is to be removed, for placement somewhere else.
• A portion of audio is unwanted, and is removed and never used again.
To Cut a highlighted segment, press the CUT key; the highlighted area will disappear, and
the surrounding audio will join together, forming a seamless transition.

AUDIO WAVEFORM AFTER A "CUT" OPERATION
The removed piece is placed in a temporary or “clipboard” memory (actually a file called
_CLIPBOARD), and may now be inserted at another location if desired. Remember that only one
Cut command at a time can be stored in the clipboard memory. Before making a second Cut,
insert the first piece at the desired location. When multiple clipboard memories are needed, use
the Hot Keys.

The Copy operation is similar to the Cut operation, but does not remove the original
piece of audio; the copy is stored in clipboard memory for later use.
