Xrecode adding silence11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Chains were simply a list of effects - a similar idea to “chaining” multiple hardware effects in sequence. “Macros” have developed out of the old “Chains” feature, which was rather more limited than the new Macros. However even after unticking this option the “silence” macro still behaves as before: it doesn’t complain about the missing selection, but silences the whole track. (More information about writing Nyquist plug-ins here: )Īnother way would be to add a new (temporary) track, then make a selection, generate some silence, then cut and paste it where you want it. Probably the best alternative is to create a simple “Nyquist” plug-in to generate silence. ![]() There is no “built-in” macro to inset silence, though there are alternatives. Is there a macro to insert silence (at the cursor position)? ![]() (I agree that this is confusing, but as far as I can tell, it is behaving “as designed”, with the caveat that the duplication of the Silence command / effect is an unfortunate legacy.) As with other built-in “generator” macro commands, it is applied to the “selection”, or to the entire project if there is no selection. To complicate the matter further, the “Silence” effect has two separate implementations - one is as an “effect” (in the “Edit” menu), and the other is as a “generator” (in the “Generate” menu).Īs far as I can tell, the two Macro commands “Silence” and “Silence Audio” both reference the same code, which is the same code as the “Silence effect”. Some time way back in Audacity’s history, someone thought it should be classed as an “edit command” (although it is really an “effect”), and it has been that way ever since. The “Silence Audio” command (in the “Edit” menu) is actually an “effect” (belongs in the “Effect” menu) rather than an edit command. “Silence” has always been a bit peculiar in Audacity. The macro “Silence” brings up the dialogue as in 1) - however it behaves like 2), i.e.“Edit > Remove Special > Silence Audio” silences the selected audio. Only if the whole track is selected (which may happen automatically if you have the non-default “ Auto-select, if selection required:” Preference enabled). Edit > Remove Special > Silence Audio replaces the whole track with silence. ![]()
