Strip silence in Pro Tools

Never knew about this tool. Very helpful.

really fabulous! Thank you very much Ben. We can learn a lot from you!!!

Still seems like a lot of work. Is this a better, more powerful or more versatile option than a noise gate?

Awesome, I'm working with a very "breathy" singer right now. This is going to save me a ton of time.

I fairly comfortable with Protools functions but never found out just what Strip Silence was, and since there are 45 way to do every thing in Protools, I accomplished this in another way. But after seeing this video I will always go about it this way for time constraints. While recognizing that this has to be used with care when using this technique this is an absolute killer. Will change my approach forever. So Kool!

This was an amazing tutorial. However, the point you made at the very end is probably the most important takeaway. I tried this method on some tom tracks trying to clear all of the other bleed. However taking out the bleed of the other drums actually killed a bit of the energy in the kit for that particular song. The tom mics picked up some nice air that give the whole kit mix a better live/room vibe. Trimming out that noise made the kit feel too dry. So after all that cutting, I decided to leave the toms as they were originally.

That was an awesome 5 minutes or so spent on a subject that help me everyday in the studio. Thanks Ben!

GREAT VID, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT...SHORT N SWEET...

Ben, You have a great clear and consice way of communicating. Thanks, Jojo
