- From the region context menu, choose <kbd class="menu">Edit > Strip
- Silence</kbd> to detect silence (based on a user-chosen threshold in
- <abbr title="Decibels relative to Full Scale">dBFS</abbr>), split a
- region based on the boundaries of the silent segments, and remove the
- silence. You can also specify a minimum length for silence —
- useful when editing very percussive material and just needing to
- automatically trim the ends of a region. The dialog looks like this:

- The edit applies to all selected regions, allowing batch processing.
- You can also see in the screenshot how the main editor window is used
- to show silent segments and report the number and durations of the
- shortest segments.
