Yes, it can’t be done with your mouse. If you don’t want to use other apps, label can help.

1. Download it from the link above and install. Open the app and drop an audio file on it.

2. Select your target part by a usual way then press Ctrl+B to create a label.

In the picture above, there is a new track called ‘Labels 1’ after pressing Ctrl+B. Name your first label.

Don’t forget that you can create multiple labels.

Select all labels by dragging (picture above) or clicking a title section (picture below).

The result is below.

2. Go to menu Edit > Labeled Audio

Select options you want – silence audio, cut, copy etc…

In the picture above, I selected ‘Silence Audio’.

In the picture above, I selected ‘Cut’. You can see there is no gap between cutting parts.

In the picture above, I selected ‘Cut and leave gap’.

You can export multiple selection using selected labels by going to menu File > Export Audio…

At ‘Export Range’, select ‘Multiple Files’.

At ‘Split files based on’, select ‘Labels’.

Then name files at section ‘Name files’.

 

Again, if you want to get it done with Audacity, this might be the easiest way.
