Cut out mistakes and unwanted silence
Play the recording and find the parts you want to keep. Cut long silences, mistakes or interruptions before adding effects. This makes it easier to hear whether the remaining audio flows naturally.
Zoom in around the part you want to remove and select it in the waveform. After cutting, play a few seconds before and after the edit. If a word or note is cut short, use Undo and adjust the selection.
Save your project and export an audio file
Save a project if you want to continue editing later. To play or share the recording, export a separate audio file. Use a new filename so you can easily tell the edited version from the original.

Common Questions
Is a license key needed for MP3 export?
No. The current Power Sound Editor Free build enables its supported export formats without payment or registration.
What does the editor need to display its interface?
The Windows application uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Setup checks for that runtime before installing the editor.
