Using the Audio Trimmer

The largest feature of the Audio Trimmer is the waveform preview that
appears at the top of the window. There are two waveforms that represent
the Left and Right channels of your stereo audio. You can consider this to
be one waveform for the sake of making changes.

Beneath the waveform are the tools you can use to choose which part of
the audio you want to use. Let’s start with an example which will trim the
silence from the start and end of a track. The steps below will generally
work with just about any sound file.

To Trim Silence from Audio

1. Open the Audio Trimmer.
2. Adjust the Zoom slider to get a closer look at the sound file. As
you move to the right, you’ll be looking at smaller and smaller
increments of time, down to 10ths of a second.

3. Move the Position slider all the way to the left so you can see the
beginning of the audio file. Notice that there is an area at the start
of the waveform which is flat. This is silence.
