Cut, copy, paste, and crossfade

Trim MP3 and WAV on the waveform. Cut, copy, paste, export selection — the day-one edit.

Cut, copy, paste, and crossfade

Trim is not a filter. It is Cut with a selection. WaveSmith keeps Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete on the Edit menu, the toolbar, shortcuts, and the right-click menu.

Paste can crossfade so joins do not click. Insert File drops another clip at the playhead. Export Selection writes only the region you marked — the fastest way to make a quote, a ringtone-length clip, or a chapter.

This feature page is every command: Edit, toolbar, right-click, shortcuts, crossfade, Export Selection. The day-one cutter afternoon is How to cut an MP3 on Windows. Stay here when you want the map; stay there when you want the trim.
