Using the Sample Editor’s Silencer<br />

You can use the Silencer to perform two different functions, either separately or together.<br />

These are:<br />

• Spike Reduction: Identifies, and reduces, signals such as pops and clicks.<br />

• Noise Reduction: Lowers the level of any noise in the signal, such as tape noise.<br />

The Silencer function is optimized for normalized data. Low-level material should be<br />

normalized before processing.<br />

Tip: Don’t forget that pops and clicks can also be manually removed using the Pencil<br />

tool, if the Silencer doesn’t produce satisfactory results (see Using the Pencil Tool to Edit<br />

in the Sample Editor).<br />

Opening the Sample Editor’s Silencer<br />

You need to select an area within an audio file before you can open the Silencer.<br />

To open the Silencer<br />

1 Select the area of the audio region in the Sample Editor that you want to process through<br />

the Silencer.<br />

2 Choose Factory > Silencer (or use the corresponding key command).<br />
