Replace selection
If you intend to replace a specific range with silence, proceed as follows:
1. Make a selection that encompasses the range you wish to replace with si-
lence.
2. Select Silence from the Edit menu or press [Ctrl]+[Shift]-[Space].
This will open the Silence dialog – see below for descriptions of the options in the dialog.
3. In the dialog, set the Length to “As selection”, and the Mode to “Replace
selection”.
• From here, you can select whether to apply “True silence” or “Back-
ground noise”.
The “Background noise” option allows you to select an audio file containing ambient noise,
and use this as the source for the silence operation. See “About the Ambience – Back-
ground noise option” on page 108.

begin.

This will open the Silence dialog – see below for descriptions of the options in the dialog.
• In the dialog, set the Length to “As selection” if you have specified a se-
lection and want the silence to be inserted inside the range.
• Alternatively, uncheck “As selection” and set the desired silence Length
in seconds.
3. Set the Mode to “Insert at cursor”.
4. From here, you can select whether to apply “True silence” or “Back-
