Difficult, no.  time consuming, Yes.  I use Cool Edit to perform my sound
editing.  It allows me to do many things, but one of the most important is the
ability to set the highlighted clip by sample number.  One time consuminng
task
is to highlight a particular sample or more to remove the sound through the
utilization of a filter.  The isolation takes a considerable amount of time if
the sample is in the middle of other noises or sounds.
