Use Audacity Sound Editor To Cut and Fade In/Out Audio Files

For those that it doesn't work....Don't press pause on the audio file!!!!!! just stop it and it will work ^^ thumbs up so people can see!

Ugh, it won't let me cut or do anything! I select the audio of the bit I want to cut, I click the cut/scissors button, nothing happens. So I try going to edit but it won't let me select anything, like the trim, cut, etc buttons!! Why won't it allow me?

@alezegh Instead of pausing the audio file, press the stop button

@R0xasTeh0taku Yeah, I figured it out a few hours after I made that comment. You have to click stop before you do anything.
