Micro editing

[GIM Productions]

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if there's a way to make editing audio clips more straightforward.
I'll try to explain.
In my previous DAW, I could choose an instrument from the Smart Tools and apply the chosen editing type directly by selecting the portion of the clip to edit, and it was very quick. More specifically, if I needed to mute a portion of a voice clip by hovering the cursor over the desired part, that portion was automatically muted.
In S One, unless I'm doing something wrong (and I probably am), I wasn't able to edit the portion that needed to be cut first.
If we consider microediting background noise, the process takes much longer than in the first example.
I chose S One, which I believe to be the best DAW right now, but unless I'm doing something wrong, it's less immediate than the DAW I used before, which for me was the best before the company made some ridiculous decisions... but that's another story.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Have you tried using the Range Tool to select what you want muted followed by pressing Shift M?

Thanks so much for your reply.
I tried following your suggestions, but nothing happens.
I select the portion of the clip that becomes clear, press Shift + M, and nothing happens.
Thanks anyway.

That's odd. Can you post a video so we can see what steps are you taking?

That's strange because it works as expected for me and all my clients.
Be sure to confirm that the default keyboard shortcut you have assigned to "Toggle Mute" is Shift + M.
