Removing Labels - Examples

Delete Label
The simplest way to delete a single label is to right-click inside the label's text box, then choose Delete Label from the dropdown menu. Any labels lying to right of the removed labels stay where they are, still associated with their original audio.

Removing labels without moving any following labels (Split method)
You can use this method to remove single or multiple labels, without removing their associated audio, by split deleting a region in the label track. This method keeps the remaining labels synchronized with their audio.

Label text removal method
You can use this method to remove a single label, all remaining labels remain synchronized with their audio.

Removing labels (or regions of label track), moving back any following labels (Delete method)
You can use this method to remove labels or regions between labels, moving back (leftwards) any following labels. If you only remove the labels without also deleting the same region in the audio track Delete will desynchronize the following labels with their audio.

Removing labels together with their associated audio
In most cases when you remove parts of the label track, you will also want to remove the corresponding audio so that the remaining labels are still synchronized with their original audio. For example, you may have labeled a region of noisy audio for later deletion, as in the example below where there is a section of a performance with clapping.
