Silence Detection

How to find and remove boring silence from your audio

Updated over a week ago

Resoundโ€™s Silence Detection automatically identifies long and boring silences that will distract your audience and lead to listener drop-off. It works by analyzing your waveform to find segments that fall below a specific threshold of loudness.

Resound detects silences that are 2 seconds or longer that are -50 DB or quieter.
