After selecting a “breath” to be removed, and with looping enabled, and after Punch Paste I still have “breathing” in the track. Does this mean that the amplitude that is left in a breathing track is higher than the original clipboard contents?
Do I need to select the highest amplitude of breathing for my 1st “Punch Paste”? Or, am I going to be copying and pasting a multitude of times?
Also, you referenced a post about options available in “Punch Copy” but there was no link. Am I missing something?
Then you need to copy some “room tone”. Sit very still and silent for a short while recording, then copy a section of that recorded “silence” using “Punch Copy”, then paste that “silence” over the noisy parts.
What does the statement: “When “Looping” is selected, the clipboard will be repeated as many times as necessary to fill the current selection.”
I’m not finding but one occurrence that is removed. Is the effect designed any way to remove more the one occurrence automatically? Or, is all removal (Punch Paste) a manual procedure for each iteration?
That means, if the selection that you are pasting into is longer than the audio that you copied to the plug-in’s clipboard, then the audio from the clipboard will be repeated as many times as necessary to fill the selection that you are pasting into.
Ok…finally…

When making a high quality voice recording, (for example, an audiobook), there are often unwanted clicks and noises in spaces between words that can be distracting to the listener. One option would be to silence the gaps between words using the “Silence Audio (Ctrl+L)” command. However, silencing the audio completely can sound weird and distracting, particularly when listening with headphones. A better solution (as recommended by one of the ACX tutorials), is to replace gaps that contain clicks or other noises with “room tone”.
“Room tone” refers to the “almost silent” background noise that is present throughout the recording.
To manually replace the audio in a gap between words with “room tone”, you would select a short section of “room tone” from the recording that is the same length as the audio that you wish to replace, copy it, noting the exact length, then select exactly the same length within the noisy gap, and paste the room tone into that selection. This is fiddly and time consuming to do because the copied audio must be the exact same length as the audio that you wish to replace, otherwise the spacing between words will change.
How this plug-in helps, is that the copied “room tone” does not need to be the same length as the audio that you wish to replace.
If the copied audio is longer than the selection into which you are pasting, then “Punch Paste” will use just enough of the copied audio as is required to fill the selection.
If the copied audio is shorter than the selection into which you are pasting, then “Punch Paste” will repeat the copied audio as many times as required to fill the selection.
In both cases, the length of the selection into which you are pasting remains the same length after pasting as it was before pasting.
