TrimSilence method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Detects and removes silent portions found at the beginning and at the end of the loaded sound.

In order to remove any portions of silence from the loaded sound you should use the RemoveSilence method.

 

A successful call to this method will fire the SoundEditStarted event followed by a number of SoundEditPerc events and finally by the SoundEditDone event.

 

 

Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

control.TrimSilence (

nSilenceThreshold as Integer

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C++]

short control.TrimSilence (

short nSilenceThreshold

);


 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

nSilenceThreshold

Number representing the silence threshold referred to the volume level. Supported values are expressed with a linear volume in the range from 0 to 32767. If for example you should set a value of 800, any portion of sound having a volume level lower than 800 would be considered as silent.

In case you should need to set a threshold value expressed in dB, before setting this parameter you could convert the value in dB into a linear value through the following formula (C syntax):

 

ValueLinear = 32767 * pow (10, ValueInDB/20);

 

In case you should need to define different thresholds for the initial and final portions of the recorded sound, use the TrimSilenceEnhanced method.
