Using Strip Silence
To strip silence from an audio selection:
1
Select one or more audio regions.
2
Choose Edit > Strip Silence.
3
To set the naming scheme for regions created
with Strip Silence, click Rename to open the Re-
naming dialog. For details, see “Auto-Naming
for Strip Silence” on page 484.
4
In the Strip Silence window, adjust the sliders
for Strip Threshold and Minimum Strip Dura-
tion until the Strip Silence rectangles appear in
the selection.
For finer resolution on these sliders, press Con-
trol (Windows) or Command (Mac) while ad-
justing them.
5
To retain material before and after the new re-
gions, adjust the sliders for Region Start Pad and
Region End Pad.
6
Once the Strip Silence rectangles encompass
the audio that you want to keep, press the Strip
button.
The material defined as silence is removed from
the selection and new regions are created, which
also appear in the Region List.
The Strip Silence command is nondestructive
and does not remove audio data from parent au-
dio files. In addition to the Undo command,
you can use the Heal Separation command to re-
store stripped material.

Strip Silence works with stereo and multi-
channel tracks, and keeps their audio re-
gions phase-coherent.
