Effect: Force to silence

Description of effect:
Sets the selection of the material to zero volume.

Main benefit:
The Force silence sets the selection to zero. To avoid clicks and pops, the silence is faded in and faded out within a thousand of a second.

Description of parameters:
If the material is stereo, there is a choice to which channels to apply the silence.

What could go wrong
The Force silence is not possible to abuse. (Assuming you didn't silence out your favorite take...) Please choose this effect instead of muting the selection with the amplification effect.

For you that want to know more...
When the characteristics of the material is changed to fast, for example "as fast as a single sample", noisy clicks and pops can be heard. These high pitch clicks consists of the high frequency components needed to force the "old sound" into the "new sound" (silence), and is not a normal property of real life, and can not be heard in nature. A common medicine for these clicks is to zero out when the wavesamples are as close to zero as possible. (This is called zero clipping.) But there is still a "force" needed to change the sound to silence in the end-points, but the click is now much more quite and many are content with that. Pristine Sounds try to reduce even these clicks by eliminating existing components in its corresponding differential equation.
