# Deleting Audio

WireTap Studio's lossless and non-destructive editor can delete unwanted portions of a recording with no loss of quality or audio to the original recording.

Easily edited fades are automatically added to edited portions of audio to smooth transitions. For more on fades, see Using Fades in the Editor

To Delete a portion of audio:

3. Go to the Editor menu and select Delete Audio, click on the Delete button...

   ...or press the Delete key on your keyboard. The highlighted portion of audio will be removed and fades added to the remaining audio.

A dotted line will indicate where the audio was deleted.

Drag the fade markers back and forth to increase or decrease the length of the fade.
