Cut section of footage with audio out of timeline - HOW??

Question

Hi I've tried to select a middle section of my timeline and cut it out and have the two sections join - how do I do this? I've tried cutting the back end and pasting over the middle section, but it will NOT overwrite the audio. Video will overwrite but it does not lay audio over with it.
I've Tried using Extract audio when using "Paste over at Playhead" checked and not checked. It doesn't work either way. any help please?

Hi dsafian - if I understand you correctly, removing a section is simple, but there are two scenarios and you do not give enough detail for us to know which one to describe, so here's both:
1. Cutting a section out of a single clip: there is more than one way, but here's one. Place the playhead at the start of the part you want to remove and hit Command-T. That will split the clip at that point. Now go to the end of the unwanted part, and do the same. Then select the middle part and hit 'Delete'.
2. Removing several clips: Select the first clip you want to remove, and then Shift-Click on the last clip to be removed. this will select all of the clips that you want removed. Now hit 'Delete'.
Does that help? Tell us if we have misunderstood your problem.
