Mute
This feature uses direct hard disk editing to allow you to mute a selected portion of your .wav file. With Mute, the audio file sound level is reduced to nothing in the selected area, but the area remains as part of your file. The Mute feature is also useful for getting rid of noise at the beginning or the end of a recording. You can access this feature via the Ctrl + M Hotkey or by depressing the right mouse button and using that menu. The Mute function does not alter the length of your file.
Important Note:
Do not mute the beginning or the ending of a .wav file before operating any of the Impulse Noise filter(s). Doing so will cause them to function at an extremely slow rate of speed during the muted section, because it will have a very difficult time calculating a signal to noise ratio on a signal containing all zero’s. Perform the .wav file muting function after all other filter operations have been completed.

Muting Procedure (Tutorial)
- Determine the position in the Source or Destination workspace in which you desire to apply the Mute Function and highlight that area.
- If you change your mind regarding the section that you desire to mute, merely double click the left mouse button anywhere in the workspace area, and the entire file will again become highlighted in yellow. Then, repeat step 1.
- Click on "Mute" (Edit Menu), and a dialog box will appear which says "Mute will set the selected section of the file to silence. Do you want to continue?" With the left mouse button, click on either "Yes" or "No."
