Use on tom drums?
Hi @Mark_Abrams !
Great script here. Thanks to you and @Andrew_Scheps .
I swear I watched a video where you and Andrew talked about using a package, and maybe it's this one, to clean up drum bleed? Essentially it was for the toms to quickly strip the silence between transients but with fade curve to preserve the ring of the drum.
Am I crazy?
Is it this package or another? If it's another and it was you, could you point me to what that was.
And if it's this one, I've tinkered with it and not sure how to get it to work for this purpose :-)

Hey @Brett_Ryan_Stewart !
It would work as well as strip silence for the task, but it will not dynamically adjust your strip silence or fade settings based on the audio. Those can be configured statically on the "Default Preset" in the package.
On complex tracks, it may not be the best solution for this. You could find some settings that work with strip silence (CMD+U), then set up your preset, choose not to create fades, then select all of the audio on your tom track and use the batch fade tool (CMD + F) to tweak your fade-out length there.
If you would use those settings consistently in your workflow (where your toms are typically recorded at the same level, etc.), you could create a new preset in the script with those settings and reuse it in the future.
The script could be useful on multiple tom tracks where the same strip silence settings would work, but it may be faster to strip the tracks manually since you already have the window open.
Hope that helps - Let me know if you have any more questions!
Brett Ryan Stewart @Brett_Ryan_StewartThanks a million Mark. I think you're right, in this instance, the good old fashioned method works quicker. Will still definitely be using this script as it was intended though, to cut up the clips by section.
Thanks for the thorough response!
