Reaper’s Dynamic Split Function Can Strip Silence

Lots of podcasters, editors and producers like to remove the parts of each participant’s track where they are NOT speaking in order to remove any and all background noise and other unnecessary sounds like breathing, coughing, paper shuffling, keyboard typing, dogs barking, cars driving by, etc.

And of course Reaper amazes us again by providing a Dynamic Split function which automates this task.

See this article for instructions on how to use Dynamic Split.

From Reaper’s wiki: One way of using REAPER’s Dynamic Splitting is to clean up a track and remove those passages that should be silent. This can be handy, for example, with a vocal track, to automatically clean up the passages between verses which might contain unwanted background noises such as breathing or shuffling sounds.
