2. Go to the Editor menu and choose Delete Silence... to remove the silent portion of the recording, Mark Silence...to place a marker at points of silence, or Crop Leading and Trailing Silence... to remove silence at the beginning and end of a recording.
3. Set the parameters that determine silence in the Silence Threshold drop down sheet.
