[Audacity-nyquist] SilenceMarker.ny audio region detection instead of simple label insert?

[Jeroen J. <jer...@gm...>]

Hi,

(I posted this question to the audacity-devel list first and they said
to ask this question on this list)

I was wondering how to change the SilenceMarker plugin to also mark
the beginning of silence instead of when it stops (well actually that
sounds slightly turned around). I want it to mark the beginning and
end of audio, instead of just the 'end' of silence.

Currently the SilenceMarker plugin finds when silence ends and adds a
label. I find that I very often need to find both beginning and end of
audio with the SilenceMarker plugin. (and after that I use "Export
Multiple")

a little background:

I am editing digitized cassette tape recordings and want to split the
~45min audio into seperate wav/mp3 files. Since there is a (sometimes
large) gap between songs, I want to export only the 'audio' of the
songs and not the 'silences' inbetween.

Any thoughts on this?

Best regards,

Jeroen Janssen
