If I'm zoomed in to near sample level, I figure I'm pretty safe just cutting it (and enabling 'smooth audio cut', which helps it hit the zero crossing point on both ends of the edit).
If not, just CTRL + Z to Undo.
If I cut it, I don't have to worry about it un-muting some day when someone else may be mixing it.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
