It's good to know it can be done and I don't need to go into Audition to do it then. What I've done for now is Keyframe edit using bezier curves with the pen tool to simply go to zero volume when the dog barks. But now, to cut and paste would be the cat's pajamas. I will search the reference materials you have listed Jim, or, and also, I will ask:
How do you cut and paste audio within an audio waveform in Premiere Pro?
TIA,
Ken
PS: I have the CS6 Classroom in a book, which is excellent but nowhere does it mention being able to cut and paste waveforms. Also, looking at the contents of Video2Brain courses, I don't see a mention of working with audio waveforms. I really do need a little more specific help in knowing which of these resources touches on the subject of editing audio waveforms within Premier Pro. The Online Help for Premiere Pro does not contain 'cutting and pasting audio waveforms' in the ways that I have searched on it. If it really is possible within Premiere Pro, they are not making it easy to discover.
