Region Start Pad Specifies a time value to be
added to the beginning of each new region cre-
ated with Strip Silence. This is useful for preserv-
ing musical material that falls below the thresh-
old, such as the breath before a vocal phrase, or
the finger slide before a guitar chord.
Region End Pad Specifies a time value to be ap-
pended to the end of each new region created
with Strip Silence, thereby preserving the nu-
ances in the decay of the material.
Strip Clears the detected silence, but leaves the
regions containing audio on the track.
Extract Clears the audio and leaves the silent
portions of the track (in other words, an “in-
verse” strip silence feature that is ideal for gen-
erating room tone or ambience to use else-
where).
Rename Opens the Rename Selected Regions di-
alog (see “Auto-Naming for Strip Silence” on
page 484).
Separate Separates regions based on the bound-
aries detected by Strip Silence.
Auto-Naming for Strip Silence
The Rename button in the Strip Silence window

which determines how regions are named with
the Strip Silence command. The dialog remem-
bers your previous settings, which can be
cleared by clicking the Clear button.

ated with Strip Silence.
