What Is Reaper's Version of "Strip Silence?"

In Pro Tools there is a tool called "Strip Silence" that acts sort of like a noise gate but allows you to preview the regions being silenced and the start/stop points of all regions, etc. I do something similar in Reaper using the Auto-Trim/Split tool. Is that Reaper's closest approximation to Strip Silence? Not counting an actual noise gate, I mean? Thanks. Ken

You've got it. Bear it mind that each item you've created is an instance of the whole item. So you're free to adjust the start and end points, and even do some slip editing if need be. Steve

Auto trim split combine with transient detection threshold settings window is absolutely what op is on about. You can use dynamic split but you can def use auto trim split.

FYI, dynamic split is buggy. The screen cap in the linked post shows it and the workaround for it.

So this doesnt work?

So...has there been any change in this? I just spent an hour trying to find a way to use Dynamic Split to do the very simple task of separating the big chunks of audio from the big chunks of silence, and it simply can't do it. Crazy. What are the ways to make this happen while remaining in Reaper? (Other than manually)

I'd be surprised if there isn't a script somewhere for this.

For anyone interested it's called auto trim/split (remove silence) found in actions list. Cockos inexplicably have it separate from dynamic split and hidden away, I try to flag it up when I can... Also use the transient detection threshold dialog to aid getting a threshold value.

The Auto Trim/Split is a good action. However it has an irritating bug in that it cannot disable the auto adjust snap offset (despite 0 in the field) but instead it moves the snap offset the same amount of ms as the leading pad. Thats how it is for me at least.

...and to think, I've been removing silence the manual way for several years now like a dumbass... this is definitely the way to go. thanks for the tip! dave
