You can edit the audio files used in a DJ.Studio set. This lets you cut, trim, crop, and duplicate sections of songs on the timeline.
This video shows you how it works.
The following actions can be performed on selected sections of audio.
Simply shift+click and drag the mouse over the waveform area to select the audio you wish to edit.
Next, you can right-click the selection to open the action menu or use a keyboard shortcut.
Cut = cmd/ctrl + X - Copies the selected area to the clipboard, and removes the cut area from the timeline.
Copy = cmd/ctrl + C - Copies the selected area to the clipboard, which can be pasted elsewhere
Paste = cmd/ctrl + V - Pastes the audio currently in the clipboard to the selected timeline location. This action can be repeated to create extended loops.
Delete = del/backspace - Deletes the selected section from the timeline, and rejoins the file to remove any gaps.
You can use these actions to edit tracks, customizing them into your own remix arrangement.
Right-Click Edit Menu
You can also interact with audio files by Right-Clicking a selection of the waveform. This also shows the shortcuts.

Q: I keep moving the WAV file instead of selecting a section to edit. What am I doing wrong?
A: It sounds like you're not holding the Shift key when selecting a section. To highlight part of the track, press and hold Shift, then click and drag with your mouse or trackpad. This prevents moving the WAV file accidentally.
Tip for Trackpad Users: If you're using a trackpad on a MacBook Pro, it may take some getting used to. Ensure you always press Shift when selecting to avoid accidental movements.
