I can't answer about MP3 Direct Cut and JAWS, but tools that
edit MP3 files directly (without decompressing to lossless then
re-encoding) can only do things like cuts and joins, and volume
changes like normalise and fade.
They can't do filtering like Noise Removal, or time stretching like
change tempo without changing pitch, or change pitch without
changing tempo.
