+
+> Toot! Is an iPhone and iPad client for Mastodon. The app has been around for quite sometime, but until this week, hadn’t received an update in nearly two years. With the surging popularity of Mastodon, though, the developer has begun updating Toot! with the social network’s newest features, including administrator notifications, plus support for the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS.

+> ### Strip Silence
+> 
+> The “Strip Silence…” command slices out silent (or nearly-silent) parts of an audio clip. If you’re familiar with a “noise gate”, it’s similar, but the quiet portions are removed from the project altogether, not just silenced.
+> 
+> Strip Silence splits a single clip up into several clips, one for each continuous section of sound. For example, if you have a recording of someone “speaking… with… long… pauses… between… each… word… like… Shatner… or… Walken…” then apply Strip Silence to it, you will end up with one clip for each word, with empty space in the project where the pauses used to be.
+> 
+> When you select the command, the Strip Silence control panel appears at the bottom of the screen. As you adjust the controls, blue shading will mark the regions that will be cut out (for very long pieces of audio, the Strip Silence command may take a little time to update when you change the controls. You’ll see a progress bar below them while this happens).
+> 
+> There are three Strip Silence controls:
+> 
+> Threshold
+> 
+> Sections of audio are only removed if they’re quieter than this level.
+> 
+> Edge Fade
+> 
+> With this switched off, you’ll get hard cuts between the sound and silent sections. Increase the fading, and the Strip Silence command will fade in just before the start of each piece of audio, then fade out when it returns to silence.
+> 
+> Minimum Silence
+> 
+> This is the minimum duration of silence between two sections of audio. If you’re working with very long audio, you should probably turn this up so your timeline doesn’t resemble the aftermath of a hailstorm. This can be particularly useful for projects such as interviews, if you have a separate recording for each participant.
+> 
+> Once you tap the Done button to confirm the command, the sections marked in blue are deleted from the timeline. Note that the audio left behind is not moved to fill the gaps — the timing of your project is unchanged. You can use the [Tighten Audio](#sec_tightenAudio) command afterwards if you want to “ripple” all the deleted sections.
+> 
+> **Tip:** Like all edits in Ferrite, Strip Silence is non-destructive: the silent parts of the audio are removed from the project, but they are not removed from your device, and can be restored either by tapping Undo, by dragging the edges of the pieces to “uncover” more of the audio, or even simply adding the audio back into the project.
+> 
+> **Note:** While the panel is open, you can zoom in and out of your project, pan around, and listen to it, but you can’t make edits until you either confirm or cancel the Strip Silence command.
