Add silence allows you to add a user specified amount of silence at the point selected in the waveform. If a selection point is made in the waveform, the Add Silence dialog opens allowing you to specify the amount of time (in minutes and seconds) of silence to be added at that point. If a piece of sound is selected in the waveform, silence replaces that piece of sound. If no selection point is made, silence is added at the beginning of the waveform.


To add silence at a selected point:

  1. Select an insertion point in the waveform.
     
  2. On the Options drop-down list, choose Add Silence.
     
  3. Select the amount of silence to be added using the spinbox control.
     
  4. Click OK.

To add silence over a selected piece of sound:

  1. Left click and drag to select a piece of sound in the waveform.
     
  2. On the Options drop-down list, choose Add Silence.
     
    The selected sound is replaced with silence.
