Trim
To remove all the audio except the current selection, select Trim from the
Edit menu (or press [Ctrl]-[Backspace]).
Smooth Delete
This function is available from the Edit menu. It is similar to the standard
“Delete” function, but in addition, a short crossfade is performed at the
edges of the section to be deleted, allowing for a smoother audio transi-
tion.
• The default length and shape of the crossfade is set in the Preferences–Wave
edit tab.
• If the range to cut out is smaller than the defined fade length, then standard “De-
lete” is performed.
• Note that the crossfade is performed at the edges of the selection to delete. Thus
if the region to remove is 1000 milliseconds and the defined crossfade is 20 mil-
liseconds, only 980 milliseconds of audio will be removed.
• If the region is the start of the file, only a fade-in is performed. If the region is the
end of the file, only a fade-out is performed.
Silence
The Silence function offers several different methods for inserting silence,
but there are two basic operational modes:
• You can “insert” silence into a section, i.e. to space two sections further apart.
• Or, you can select to “replace” a selection or time range with silence.
