Trim the outer edges

  1. Add your voice recording in Cut MP3, then open Trim clip.
  2. Place the start before the first wanted word and the end after the last wanted word.
  3. Listen with Preview start edge and Preview end edge. Move a boundary if it clips a syllable or breath.
  4. Apply trim and choose Export Cut to save the passage.

Remove a section in the middle

A single trim keeps one continuous range. To leave out an internal section, duplicate the source clip, set one clip to the part before the unwanted section and the other to the part after it, then switch to Join MP3.

Arrange the two retained parts in order. Use a direct join or a small pause, and listen across the join before treating the result as finished.

Handle quiet edges and level changes

Trim silence detects quiet material at the beginning and end of a clip. It does not remove every pause inside a conversation.

If several recordings differ in level, Advanced includes loudness normalization. Check the saved voice at a comfortable volume rather than judging it only from the waveform.
