I use two different methods for editing out things in my audio tracks.

One, as has been mentioned, is using the volume envelopes and zooming in close to surgically place the nodes exactly where I need them. I use this on the occasional noise since taking the time to add 4 nodes and be sure they are where they need to be is time consuming.

My second and preferred way is to use the functions in my DAW (Sonar X1) and use the function: process audio>mute. I move the track in question to the top of the track view, zoom in, highlight/select the correct track, and drag my mouse on the time line for the area I wish to mute. I ensure I have captured the area accurately and click OK. It processes and mutes the chosen section.... I play through it to check it and move to the next....

I use it on breath sounds, clicks, noise, or anything else that is an unwelcome visitor in the track.

Don't forget to click on SAVE.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
