Trim dead air at the edges or shorten long pauses within a recording.
A Latido account with one uploaded song unlocks cloud processing.
How to use Remove Silence
- Load your recording. Choose Trim edges to tidy the beginning and end or Shorten gaps to reduce long pauses within the audio.
- Set the Silence threshold and Minimum gap. For Shorten gaps, set Silence to retain so speech still has space to breathe.
- Inspect the highlighted cuts and switch between Before and After. If a quiet word or tail disappears, lower the threshold or increase the minimum gap before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as silence?
A section qualifies when its level stays below the threshold for long enough. Moving the threshold closer to zero makes more quiet material qualify, including some breaths and soft syllables.
Will this remove hiss under speech?
This tool removes or shortens whole sections of time. For steady hiss or electrical hum that overlaps the voice, try Clean Up Audio.
Can I keep the natural rhythm of a conversation?
Use Shorten gaps with a longer minimum gap and retain some silence. Listen around several joins before exporting, since a pause can carry meaning even when the waveform looks quiet.
