Silence Detection Options

Note that for the vast bulk of recordings default settings are already best!

Filter Below Sound Level

The “Filter Below Sound Level” is the measurement of the loudness of the sound. A section below this level is marked as silent (red), and a section above it is kept (green).

An intuitive understanding of how to find the right value for your file is by either making the value more negative or by making it less negative.

Making the value more negative (say changing from -35dB to -45dB)

→ will capture more Green Sections.

And making the value less negative (say changing from -45dB to -35dB)

→ will capture less Green Sections.
