You can zoom in on the track then drag the right end to the left til you get to where the sound ends or wherever you want it to end.

Thanks mate.

Or put your cursor where you want to cut an push the 's' key to split the track. Then delete the part to the right. (I share because you will soon want to split sections of tracks to edit).

Nice tip, thanks

I am dumb. I stand corrected.

If you use the second method, you're actually trimming the .wav file - which decreases it's physical 'on drive' file size as well.

Err, nope, that's not true. After you split and delete the .wav file is unchanged. You can get back the original by stretching out the end.
