Automatic podcast editing based on example edits
Problem
User wants to automatically clip out segments that wake them up while falling asleep to podcasts. User asks if they can provide example edits to a few files, and have the tool remove similar content from other files. This reveals a need for automated, example-driven clipping functionality in existing audio editing tools.
Pain points
- Waking up due to music/sound segments while falling asleep to podcasts
- Lack of audio editing functionality that can automatically remove similar segments based on example edits
- Need to uniformly clip interfering segments across multiple files
Questions to verify
- Does the user frequently listen to a specific podcast and want to automate segment clipping?
- Does the tool support example-based multi-file batch clipping?
- Would the user be willing to try the tool to achieve this functionality?

Task I want but have been too lazy - I have a favorite podcast, that I often fall asleep to. Certain parts with music etc. wake me up. I'd like to chop those parts out as automatically as possible. Can I do that here by e.g. giving some example edits to a few files, and asking to remove similar stuff from other files?

it would be nice to have: ability to import files into tracks from a menu or context menu, keyboard short cut keys for splitting, etc., automatic crossfade when moving clips into each other, envelopes, effects, I think Sony Vegas had one of the most intuitive audio editing experiences when working with tracks and clips, maybe adopt what worked from it.
