In my experience I have not used zero points in the middle of a note. Usually at the beginning or end of a note, the break in a drum track, space between words in a vocal track.. That said, I listen to what I want to edit out or modify several times before deciding what to do.

I have been quite successful removing the BREATH sounds before the initial consonants in vocals. I do it to all of my own vocals even though I usually breath in through my nose. However, in the excitement of the studio I do even make breath noises with my nose breathing. smile And another thing I edit out is clicking of a singer's teeth, or tongue and lip noise. again smile smile
