Remove silence from beginning and end

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows

Hello Audacity-Users,

I’m from Germany and using Audacity since a few years.
Now I’m using Version 2.0.6 and I have the following Question:
I’ve got a lot of wav-Tracks and I want to romove the silence at the beginning and the end of a track, is it possible to do that with a chain?
(Well, I could use ‘TruncateSilence’, but it would remove silence within the track, too, I don’t want that.)

Or could it be included in the next version of Audacity?

Best regards
Niklas

If you need to specify the threshold of silence to remove from the beginning or end, try https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/trim-silence/20380/1

Yeah, Great!

The second plugin 'Trim Silence ’ was exactly what I’ve been looking for. :smiley:

Thanks a lot, Gale!
