Track Cut

This operation cuts audio from the specified area. The area of
audio between the Start point and the End point is removed
completely, and the remaining section of audio is spliced on.
When a section of audio is cut, audio following the section is
moved earlier on the timeline to fill in the gap. Compared to
a tape recorder, this is like using a razor blade to slice out a
region of tape, and then splicing the two remaining ends
together.
