Select from now to now and delete it. ? It's not on the dry track. What's the problem?

You could maybe shift drag the processed track onto the dry track then split the 2 into lanes and at least be dealing with one track for gross edits.

I wish they'd dump this thread upstairs...

I think it's pretty obvious that the tracks should be rerecorded without any string noise.  Simples.

Why would you split the clips anyway?

Place the now time marker somewhere after the noise then just drag the clip start to the now time, it will snap to it. Drag the second clip start to the now time. Job done.

Thanks all for the great ideas
Mike, I'll try that next time - in fact it should be easy enough to set up my TonePort/POD Farm to record that way.

Karyn, unless I'm missing something obvious (this is probably true), I always split with a resolution of 1 tick with the 'Snap to zero crossing' option checked. Does slip editing 'snap' to these settings?
 
 
 

humbug.... do what I do. 

Rather than splitting and deleting..... highlight both tracks, but put your mouse on the timeline at measure 3 and simply drag back into measure 1 (in this case). You will see the timeline turn dark gray where you selected it....and the tracks will mirror that selection as well. Then, simply process audio for GAIN and select the MUTE function from the drop down, click OK and that selected area in both tracks will process to MUTED.  

If you get the selected area wrong..... no problem, simply click and drag the new area and it changes instantly..... as many times as you need to get it correct. 

no need to split or delete anything. 

I use this method all the time to clean up guitar and vocal tracks..... you can make the processed area very surgical by zooming in as far as you need.

I think that's the first use of the word "surgical" I've seen that doesn't involve cutting!  LOL!
