Skip Silences detects stretches of near-silence in a track and jumps past them, which removes the dead air at the start and end of uploads and the long tails on live recordings.
The detection threshold and minimum duration are configurable so quiet passages inside a song are not mistaken for silence.
What it does
- Skips leading and trailing dead air on uploaded tracks
- Configurable loudness threshold and minimum silence length
- Especially useful for live albums and DJ mixes
How to enable Skip Silences
Frequently asked questions
Will it cut quiet parts of a song?
Only if the threshold is set too aggressively. Lower the threshold and raise the minimum duration if a quiet intro gets skipped.
Does it work with the Crossfade plugin?
Yes, though combining both can make transitions arrive faster than expected on tracks with long fades.
