Erasing silent audio events

Here’s how to erase silent audio events from the IN– OUT region of track 1, turning them into blank space.

1Register the IN and OUT locations.

Set the IN point slightly ahead of the silent events you

want to erase, and set the OUT point to a location slightly after these events. (→ p.33, 118)

2Select “Optimize.”

In the [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab page, set “EditType” to “OptimizeTrack.”

3Select the optimize mode.

Select the “Mode” button and press the [ENTER] key to open the dialog box.

For this example, select “Erase Silence” and press the [YES/OK] key to return to the [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab page.

4Select the number of the track that you want to opti- mize.

For this example, set “DestTrack” to “1.”

5Select the “Exec.” button and press the [ENTER] key. When the display asks “AreYouSure?,” press the [YES/ OK] key to execute the operation.

When the operation has been completed, the display will indicate “Completed.” Press the [YES/OK] key.

6Check the results of the operation.

Press the [IN/LOC1] key, and play back from the IN location to hear the results.

If you are not satisfied with the results, you can use Undo to return to the previous state. (→ p.126)

As the specified region (IN–OUT) is set longer, it will correspondingly take longer for processing to be finished and for the “Completed” indication to appear.
