The <dfn>Strip Silence</dfn> tool allows to remove the parts of one or multiple
|
|
regions that are below a user-defined silence threshold. It does <em>not</em>
|
|
destroy the underlying audio, but trims the regions according to the silence
|
|
threshold parameter. The edit applies to all selected regions, allowing batch
|
|
processing.

|

<dd>Ardour adds fades, both in and out, to the trimmed regions, to the created

region (so the sliced regions are longer by both the in and out fades duration,

expressed in samples)</dd>

Changing any parameter in the window is reflected in the main editor: the silent
|
|
segments are highlighted and the number and durations of the shortest segments is
|
|
displayed, helping fine-tune the parameters.
