Advanced Audio Processing
SONAR provides a number of advanced audio processing commands for power
users. Among these are commands to remove silent sections of audio from the data
and to apply parametric equalization, fades, and crossfades.
Removing Silence
The Remove Silence command detects sections of audio that fall below a given
loudness threshold, and replaces those sections with absolute silence. Remove
Silence gives you the option of actually deleting the silent sections from the
selected audio clips, splitting long audio clips into a greater number of shorter
audio clips.
SONAR treats passages of absolute silence intelligently. It doesn’t store stretches
of silence on disk, and thereby conserves disk space. During a passage of absolute
silence, SONAR sends no signal to the digital output port; this results in cleaner
audio playback. Remove Silence is great for cleaning up your final audio mix,
because it can mute all audio tracks in which the live performers were “laying out.”
Using Remove Silence to split long audio clips into smaller ones opens a variety
of creative possibilities.
The parameters in the Remove Silence dialog box are used to specify exactly what
you mean by silence. More precisely, Remove Silence employs what is called a
digital noise gate. The gate is a type of filter, it passes data through, or stops it
from passing through, according to certain criteria. Parameters in the dialog box
specify the conditions under which the gate is opened and under which it closes
again.
