Silence Generator Dialog

The Silence Generator dialog allows you to add silence or ambience sounds to an audio file.

  • To open the Silence Generator dialog, select the Insert tab in the Audio Editor, and click Silence Generator.

Type of Silence

  • True Silence allows you to insert digital silence.

  • Ambience Sound File (Looped If Not Long Enough) allows you to select an audio file containing ambience sound.

    Gain to Apply to This File lowers or raises the gain of the ambience sound.

Silence Duration

As Selection uses the duration of the active audio selection as the duration of the silent section. You can specify the duration of the silent section in the value field below.

Edges

Fade In/Fade Out performs a crossfade at the start and at the end of the silent section, for smoother transitions. You can specify the fade time in the value field below.

Destination

  • Replace Selection replaces the current audio selection with the silent section.

  • Insert at Cursor inserts the silent section at the cursor position.

  • From End of File Until Cursor extends the audio file with silence up to the cursor position. Activating this option also defines the silence duration and ignores the Silence Duration setting.
