FAQs

Will trimming reduce audio quality?

No, trimming doesn't re-encode audio if using the same format. It simply removes parts of the file without quality loss.

What audio formats can I trim?

Most formats including MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and WMA. MP3 and WAV are most common.

How accurate is audio trimming?

Modern trimmers can be accurate to milliseconds. MP3 trimming may have slight frame boundaries (26ms) due to format structure.

What audio format has the best quality?

Lossless: FLAC, WAV, ALAC (Apple) - identical to original, large files. Lossy: MP3 (universal), AAC/M4A (better than MP3), OGG (open source). 320kbps MP3 sufficient for most. Use lossless for editing, lossy for sharing/storage.

Does trimming audio reduce quality?

No quality loss if no re-encoding. Trimming MP3 to MP3 may introduce slight quality loss due to frame boundaries. Use lossless format (WAV) for editing, then export to desired format. Avoid multiple saves of lossy formats.

How do I remove silence from audio?

Use audio editors with silence detection (Audacity: Effect > Truncate Silence). Set threshold (-40dB typical). Preserve small gaps (0.5s) for natural speech. Batch process with tools like FFmpeg. Be careful not to cut breathing or natural pauses.
