How do I shorten a song

I've made a tune with several dead/ no sound bars at the end . It's that way for all the tracks I used in the tune . How do I delete the unwanted parts at the end ?


I had saved "drag the End of Song marker to the exact end of the last region in your project: shorting the end of tune " as info for a guide. Can't seem to get a grip on how to do that now. I also checked ... bulletsandbones ...


Any simple clean to do what I want ,


Thanks & Peace

HangTime ... I don't seem to get it. Maybe I don't understand drag-select .... Here's what I'm doing and what I'm seeing.


I go to the end of the project .Starting with the top track I hold the mouse down and move the arrow down and it's selecting all my tracks and then I move it to the left. I feel it's selecting things because everything to the right is now a different color of gray. But it doesn't seem get rid of what I want. When I stop holding the mouse down everythings as it was.


Thanks

HANGTIME ,


Guess I'm slower than a fat dawg on a hot day ...... or thicker than honey in the snow. It's doing the same thing.


Step one ... go to the end of project . I can then start from the top and select all the tracks used going down.


I can then move towards the left and get a big darker gray box all the way to where I want to leave the music. As soon as I let go of the mouse everything is the same. I'm not understanding "drag the corner " if I move to arrow it simply changes the darker gray box ...


Thanks for trying
