Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add silence to the beginning or end of an audio file?
Yes! Click "Insert Silence", then click at the very start or end of the waveform. The tool automatically snaps to the edges for precise placement.
Can I insert silence in the middle of a recording?
Yes! Click "Insert Silence" and then click anywhere on the waveform. You can add multiple insertions at different positions. Each insertion is shown in the waveform and in the list below.
What is the maximum silence duration I can add?
You can add up to 3600 seconds (1 hour) of silence per insertion point. There is no limit on the number of insertion points, so you can add as much total silence as needed.
Does adding silence affect the original audio quality?
No. The tool only inserts silent gaps — the original audio remains completely untouched. The quality of your recording is preserved exactly as it was.
