ocenaudio (FREE) – Using Regions to Silence Unwanted Audio on Windows

In real life, I play audio to check, if I find an unwanted part, I select it and do something. But doing one by one is a slow flow, using selections is a problem because when I set a new position of playhead to continue listening the rest, that selectin is gone.

The best practice is using regions, they won’t disappear after setting a new position of playhead

 

The test steps – ocenaudio 3.14.7

On: Windows 11 Home

1. Download a file from a link above and install it.


Drop an audio file.

Play to check, pause when unwanted part is found.


In the picture above, a red line is a playhead.


Select an unwanted part.


Click the button above to stop playback.


Click the ‘Play’ button to play selection for making sure it is an unwanted part. If everything is OK, press Ctrl+K to create region.


I used a .m4a file, there was a waring in the picture above. I clicked ‘Yes’.


You can name a region (see picture above).


Set a new position of playhead to continue playing.


Click the button to play, the region doesn’t disappear (see picture above).


Repeat the steps to create a new region.

3. Go to menu Edit > Select > Audio from Regions


All regions will be selected.


Click an icon in the red circle to silence audio (see the picture below).


The picture below is the result.


With this way, I can get the job done fast.
