Prerequisites: Opening or calculating a time frequency
representation is required. A time frequency component must be selected in the representation. The playback controls must be displayed.
From the Tools menu, choose:
Rub out selected area to remove the selected area from
sound and automatically fill the sound with an energy similar to the area around the removed
area.
Figure 1. On the left, several components are selected in Bird_plus_idle.wav* time-frequency
representation. On the right, the selected components (here bird tweets) are rubbed out from
the time-frequency representation.
Delete selected area to completely remove the selected area
from the sound, as if a gain of -100 dB is applied on
the selected area.
Figure 2. On the left, several components are selected in Bird_plus_idle.wav* time-frequency
representation. On the right, the selected components (here bird tweets) are deleted out
from the time-frequency representation.
*Bird_plus_idle.wav is located in

Click Play synthesized
sound.
Click Play original

Click Enable/disable synchronous
play to carry on the playback from the point
it was when you switch from the synthesized to the original sound.
The time-frequency component is deleted.
Tip: You can test both Rub out selected
area and Delete out selected area
tools with the same sound. Then, add the
synthesized sounds to playlist to compare the results by listening.
