Strip Silence! Logic Pro's Audio Editing Secret Weapon!!

[@JohnnyHands]

I used Strip Silence a couple of times, but forgot about it (because I usually use MIDI drums and bass, or record other things with headphones), and forgot there was an easy-to-remember key command ( ^X ). Thanks!

[@GGabrielMusic]

Yeah - I sometimes forget things that Logic can do too! Then I’m like, oh yeah - that would be much easier to do it this way…. Then I forget again 😂

[@chucksaeger7500]

Very well done and well spoken. Just getting started with this type of thing so this is quite helpful. Thanks!

[@GGabrielMusic]

My pleasure and happy to help! Lots more to come!

[@johnviera3884]

awesome for a lot of different tasks

[@GGabrielMusic]

Yeah - I use it all the time. Really streamlines the process.

Very very hot and helpful tip ... I didn't know about this ... thanks a lot ... makes life a lot easier ☺

[@GGabrielMusic]

GREAT!! So glad this is helpful!!

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

WOW that's a cool function. I'll have to try that out with a drum mix when I've got a bit of time to mess around with it.🤘🤘🤘

[@GGabrielMusic]

Yeah - I find it really is a better option than a noise gate as you have far more control. Let me know about your progress!

[@SebSpeaks]

very cool.

[@GGabrielMusic]

Thanks!!

Thanks George gonna use this tip and the fade tool . question: would leaving the bleeds in effect the quality of the mix or is the tip with fade a standard audio edit?

[@GGabrielMusic]

This was more for illustrative purposes - the fact is, this is a live full band recording, so leaving the bleeds in won't necessarily affect the mix too much - however, if there was any phasing between the mics since the session was in a tight space with the propensity to introduce mic phasing, this would take care of that. Furthermore, in isolating those kicks, you can actually make a midi file from the audio and replace the kicks with better sounding kicks. So, really it is up to you for what your purposes are - I use strip silence for nearly every audio file I record, mostly to keep it very clean. Hope this info is helpful. Thanks for reaching out!!

[@McDONALD-ox4og]

Very helpful , keeping the file clean is a pro move. Great idea with audio conversion to midi Thanx George all the best.
