Judy, Mary said, It's easy to left arrow a few times, to the point before
the section that was cut out, and then play it back to be sure there's no
trace of it. You can use right and left arrow while in stop mode to hear
tiny snippets of the file"
You can also zoom in and out with F9 and F10 to hear shorter or longer bits
of sound when you arrow. So, let's say you want to have your left bracket
just before the sound and that when you left arrow away from that sound,
there is still too much space between where you land and the sound. Just
press F9 a couple times and the arrows will travel in smaller increments. I
normally then press F10 the same number of times to get back to the zoom
ratio I had originally.
Mary also said, "
"Left bracket can be used right on the beginning of a section to cut; then
use right bracket when you're just past the end of the section to cut out;
there's a slight difference in how these brackets work; left can start at
the start point, but right has to be one or two right-arrows past the end of
the section you're working with. If you don't do this, you'll get the tiny
part of the last bit of section you wanted to delete."
I do not have this problem with the right bracket. I can place it directly
after the sound and there is no problem. What you do have to realize is
that there is another way to delete here. You can do shift delete and you
will do a cross fade delete which takes a very tiny bit of the sound at the
point of the brackets in order to insure that there is no pop in the sound.
So, you have to make sure that you do not cut off the sound at either end,
but this cross fade delete is adjustable.
I hope this helps add to Mary's already helpful message.

Judy,
I can only tell you my technique for making corrections as I manually go
through files. I can correct things so closely that I can take parts of
words and delete them, and leave the correct pieces of a word intact, so
that the word sounds perfect.
I use the space bar to play or stop playing through a file. When I want to
alter something--usually cutting something out, such as a background noise,
my saying uh, um, sneeze, and so on--I can play the file, and use alt-right
arrow to find the general area; then right arrow to go through the file and
hear it in smaller segments; when I get to the beginning of something--let's
say a sneeze--I push space bar to stop, use left arrow to play the tiny
snippet that it's pointing to, and just before the beginning of the sneeze,
then I press left bracket. I then press space bar to play the sneeze; when
it's stopped, I press space bar to stop, and use left arrow to back up to
the end of the sneeze; when I find it, I right arrow to be sure I'm past it,
and then push right bracket; now the sneeze is selected. I then use
control-x to cut it out. It's easy to left arrow a few times, to the point
before the section that was cut out, and then play it back to be sure
there's no trace of it. You can use right and left arrow while in stop mode
to hear tiny snippets of the file, which is really handy if you want to cut
a sound out.
Left bracket can be used right on the beginning of a section to cut; then
use right bracket when you're just past the end of the section to cut out;
there's a slight difference in how these brackets work; left can start at
the start point, but right has to be one or two right-arrows past the end of
the section you're working with. If you don't do this, you'll get the tiny
part of the last bit of section you wanted to delete.
I can use this same technique to select something to cut and paste, or copy
to another file such as a new document.
I've found that this technique only works if you have the view set to wave
view, and not time view. In options, make sure toggles is checked (press
enter on it if it's not checked); auto play on navigation should also be
checked. In options menu, in settings, in the advanced tab, it's handy to
have allow undo checked; also, for some reason, I have allow wave view in
mp3 files unchecked.
