You can select audio by dragging the mouse or by using keyboard shortcuts. (For more information, see 

For the sake of accuracy, however, it is often useful to create selections by entering specific start and end point values. The Set Selection dialog 
allows you to create selections in this way or by choosing a preset selection from the Selection drop-down list. 

From the Edit menu, choose Selection, and then choose Set from the submenu (or press Ctrl+Shift+D). The Set Selection dialog 
appears. 

From the Input format drop-down list, choose the format to be used for creating the selection. The values in the Start, End, and 
Length boxes change to reflect the specified format. 

Configure the selection by typing appropriate values in the Start and End or the Start and Length boxes. 

If you are working with a stereo file, choose Left, Right, or Both from the Channel drop-down list, or, for a multichannel file, type 
the appropriate channel numbers in the Channel box. 

Click OK. 

The following sections briefly describe additional controls located in the Set Selection dialog.
