To change the position of your audio playback, left-click once inside of the waveform display where you would like to reposition the playhead. If the playhead position is changed while audio is being played back, Music & Speech Cleaner will jump to the new position and resume its processing and playback. This can be especially helpful for navigating and auditioning larger audio files with only a few mouse clicks. You can also use the included navigation buttons on the right-hand side of the waveform display, as well as the scrollbar located directly underneath your audio. 4 Working with Music & Speech Cleaner This can allow you to have a closer look at a particular part of your waveform. This can be helpful particularly when defining your region split points, editable area, or for placing the playhead more precisely when manually training on unwanted noise. [. . . ] Simply left-click once to move the playhead position to the middle of the area with only the noise you want removed, and from the drop-down Edit menu, select Identify Noise. Identify Noise will search 1/3 of a second of the audio on either side of your playhead position for only background noise, allowing you to manually tell Music & Speech Cleaner what you would like to remove. To place your playhead more accurately when searching for noise, you can use the included zoom buttons or your mouse wheel to zoom into your audio waveform. As your audio is processed with the modules below, the volume of your audio files may need to be increased. To do this simply select from the Edit menu, Maximize Volume to automatically bring up the level of your audio without causing clipping. Reduce Noise Reduces constant background noise in your recording. Removing too much noise can result in an undesirable artificial sound.

If the volume of your audio files needs to be increased, simply select from the Edit menu, Maximize Volume to automatically bring up the level of your audio without causing clipping. By default, Music & Speech Cleaner will apply the processing to and export the entire audio file. You can also use the option to export and process only the editable area as defined by the red boundaries in the waveform display. Split By clicking on the Split button, a region split marker will be placed at the current position of your playhead. The first region split marker will also be located at the beginning of the audio file. To remove split markers, right/command - click on the marker you would like to remove, and select Delete Split Marker. If split markers are present, when clicking Save As, each marker defined audio region will be exported as an individual audio file.
