Gating Clips
A rough but useful and quick way to remove unwanted silence or near silence from clips is with the Gate
Clips function.
Using the Gate Clips Function
First you will need to select the track(s) using the track feed keys and select the clip(s) either by
selecting a range or by parking the playback head over the desired clips. You are now ready to perform
the Gate Clips function. To do this:
Step 1
Press the
gate
button. The gate preview window is displayed automatically.
Step 2
Your selected clips will now be shaded in grey. The grey areas mark the audio that will be
retained after the Gate Clips operation is performed. Start by moving the “Threshold” slider
slowly to the right.
Step 3
Depending on the type of audio contained in the clip, areas will begin to be shaded in pink. This
indicates the areas that will be removed when the Gate Clips function is performed.
Step 4
Once you have adjusted the threshold so that the undesired portions of the clip are highlighted
in pink, adjust the hold time and pre handle time to fine tune the gating process(see below).
Threshold defines when the gate
“opens” to preserve audio in clip
