Add Strip Silence Feature
Add a feature similar to Logic Pro X's Strip Silence. Select a track in multitrack, select the new Strip Silence feature, add a few parameters and it cuts out all parts of the track that fall below a certain volume for a certain amount of time. All existing audio stays in the same place (it doesn't ripple delete anything). There are a few features already in Audition that can identify the beginning/end of silence and will place markers, but nothing will auto-delete the silence.
This is an EXTREMELY useful feature for podcast editing (allow the person to more easily move around actual dialog because all the silence has been deleted) and is the only reason I still use Logic Pro X in many cases when editing podcasts.

Thanks for the request. I’ve seen this come up several times and certainly appreciate the value in breaking up long clips into smaller bits which can be more easily manipulated and edited. I believe we have an open item in the feature backlog, but I’ll double check and add your notes.

We seriously considered switching from Logic to Audition for all our podcast editing but stopped in our tracks when we realized (in disbelief) that this vital featured seemed to be missing. Is there really no such feature in Audition? Our workflow depends on it.

I'd love to find out where we are with this feature. Maybe I missed it?

I switched to Logic because this feature is missing. Although I would gladly switch back if the feature is added!

Please dear Audition, I don't want to leave you but no strip silence is killing me. This would save me so much time with editing podcasts.

Much like others, I have to use Audacity first because the feature isn't available in Audition. I recently downloaded a trial of Pro Tools and I'm considering switching to streamline my work flow.

This is the only reason I have Pro Tools. I do a lot of voice overs for e-learning, and then I edit them to separate files. Please hurry 😊

Great, thanks for the consideration Durin. And, thanks for an amazing editor. I love Audition - this is one of the only features I really miss when using it.
