Abstract

Systems and methods for editing digital audio data are provided. In one implementation, a method is provided that includes receiving digital audio data. Input is received selecting a noise threshold identifying a level at which one or more segments of audio data are considered to be noise. The noise threshold is associated with a plurality of parameters of the audio data and applicable to a plurality of frequency bands of the audio data. A first segment and second segment of the digital audio data are analyzed at a selected frequency band to identify noise. When the audio data in the first segment exceeds the noise threshold, the first segment is identified as including a first noise and the audio data is compressed. When audio data in the second segment exceeds the noise threshold, the second segment is identified as including a second noise and the audio data is compressed.
