I have labeled all the important regions from a track, how do i make result track with only those important parts without any gaps?

Hi, in waveform is there any easy fast way to keep only labeled regions and remove all other portions from an audio track? like i have labeled all the important regions from a track, i wanna make result track with only those important parts. i know i can copy paste all those regions in a new blank track one by one but that takes too much time!
i know a way-

1. Select the label track
2. “Edit menu > Labeled Audio > Split Cut”
3. “Tracks menu > Add New > Mono / Stereo Track” (mono or stereo to match the original track)
4. Select the new track and “Edit menu > Paste”.
   but after doing 4th step, on the new track I get all the important labeled parts but there’s huge gaps between parts equivalent to length of unwanted unlabeled parts in the source track, is there no way to not include those gaps cause removing gaps 1 by 1 also taking much longer time .

If you go tp Edit >Preferences and select Tracks Behaviors - in there set the “Editing a clip can move other clips” to be “on”.

Then you should be able to use Effect > Special > Truncate Silence to remove the inter-clip gaps.

Do NOT use the default settings in that effect, in particular set the “Trubcate to” to be 0 seconds. You will probaly also want to set the “Threshold” to be a much lower sound level setting (as otherwise any near-silences you have in the audio will also be removed).

You could also use “export multiple” to export the labeled clips, then build a new track by only importing the desired clips
