I'd be happy if we could edit in the main view of the tracks (with lanes closed). Not sure what's up with that.

"It cries out for a better wave editor." Couldn't point that out better myself. Cakewalk got something to learn from Cubase there...

... Or you can just split the clip into pieces and remove the pieces of noise.

Which is what made me think of the Remove Silence feature. Doesn't it remove silence and split the non-affected parts into separate clips?

Yes, that might work but I think he was after a more manual process. He's removing noise rather than silence, so getting the right settings might be tricky. I don't know for sure... it depends on the material being processed.


He said that he had already tried using a gate effect, but wasn't getting the results he wanted.

I wish there were a tool just slicing up the track on the beat or something...

Well, a normal gate won't split a clip into several clips, like the OP wants, but the Remove Silence feature is supposed to... at least that's what I took from reading about it. But you're the expert so I'm sure I don't know what I'm talking about, as usual.

Audio Snap might be what you want to look at.

Yes, audio snap will split clips at beats.

Hey Chappel... no, you're right. A gate won't split the clip and the Remove Silence feature might work if you can get the right settings. It just depends on the material because he's trying to remove noise rather than plain silence. It could possibly work though, so it's something worth trying.


I hope I didn't make it sound like I was dismissing your idea. I definitely wasn't doing that.

Yep, you can split on beats with AudioSnap as follows...

1. Change the Edit Filter for the track containing the audio to Audio Transients.  
2. Change the Snap resolution to your split value (in this case 1/8).  
3. Right-click the background of the audio and choose Pool > Add MBT to Pool.  
4. Change the Edit Filter back to Clips.  
5. Right-click the background of the audio and choose Split Clip(s) at AudioSnap Pool.  

That should do it.
