Actually what the Strip Silence does is "delete" the sections of a clip with no info as if you've gone through and split/trimmed the track yourself.
This not only helps with a better visual map of the parts - it saves resources by not having the computer reading a SILENT part of a wave file. It's a great feature which would be awesome in Sonar.
I had a session with a master engineer tonight and he used this feature to clean up live drums and it was awesome. Has this been added to platinum or something similar that allows you to adjust what you want removed?
