Subject:shortcuts Posted by: dogma Date:4/12/2002 10:25:49 AM Is there a quicker way to mute selected areas of a waveform? I've been using the main menu--process--volume--zero command. This seems tedious to me. My task is to remove breaths from rather lengthy VO recordings. When I was using ProTools, I'd simply highlight the area and press delete. In SF, this actually deletes that area of the file...and that's not what i want. Can someone please tell me if there's something (a shortcut, a macro, or an overwrite mode setting) that i can use to make this work go faster?

If that doesn't work, the nest best thing IMO is to use Vegas or Acid to draw volume envelopes where you want to dip. I know its a pain, but muting unwanted noise sounds very unnatural unless you have a music bed behind the VO. JL OTR
