How to auto delete dropouts or short breaks -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:How to auto delete dropouts or short breaks Posted by: Junky Date:2/26/2001 11:09:32 AM I've got a great problem with some very long (60 minutes) wavfiles, because of having some very short dropouts or breaks in it! If I try to "AutoTrim" them via "remove silence between phrases" the drops are still there after processing!!! Could anyone tell me how to use this feature in the right way? I' ll process 60 minutes by one search!! Thx

Then adjust the Attack and Release parameters so that your dropouts will be detected. If the dropouts are complete silence, try setting both the Attack and Release to -Inf. This might cut out some silent sections in your audio though. You'll have to experiment with these parameters. Or you might have to process smaller parts of the file individually rather than doing the whole file at once. Best, Scott -- Scott R.

Hi Junky,

In the Auto Trim/Crop function, choose the Remove Silence
Between Phrases option. Then adjust the Attack and Release
parameters so that your dropouts will be detected. If the
dropouts are complete silence, try setting both the Attack
and Release to -Inf. This might cut out some silent
sections in your audio though. You'll have to experiment
with these parameters. Or you might have to process smaller
parts of the file individually rather than doing the whole
file at once.

Best,
Scott
