Can all silences be lengthenend at a time?

Oriol_Fortuny

Hello,

Some of my sound files consists of a long series of sounds separated by silences that are too short (250 ms). Is there away to replace all those silences with longer ones (3.000 ms) at the same time?

Thank you in advance for any comments or suggestions.

Unfortunately the program doesn't have the option and the feature to do this. NCH Software formally takes suggestions or feedback about our products through the form at http://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/

I think you should try the "Noise reduction" in "Cleanup" under the tabbed menu "Effects". There are a couple of tools in it you can use

Hi Oriol,

Currently, there's no function to replace all silence simultaneously only 1 at a time by "Insert Silence at Cursor".

Step 1: Position cursor to where you want to add silence

Step 2: Go to Edit Tab -> Silence, press "Insert Silence at Cursor"

A faster way is to copy (CTRL + C) a 2.75 sec silence and paste (CTRL + V) it to your 0.25 sec silence. No need to copy the silence again since it is already in the clipboard

Thank you to all of you for your suggestions.

Fortunately, I've found a program that has the option I was asking about.

Good luck to you all!
