purging session of region "slivers"-automatically

[KenSluiter]

Hello All,
Does anyone know of a fast way to purge an entire session of small region "slivers"?

I do know how to properly edit in such a way as to avoid this most of the time; but often because of time and or $$$, I'm micro & macro editing at the same time "down & dirty", using a combination of tab-to-transient, Beat Detective and copy/paste, focusing mainly on intonation/pitch, groove/performance.

It would be ideal if I could do the following:
-edit an entire mulit-track PT session w/o worrying about how neat any of my edits are.
-when finished, highlight all regions, tell Pro tools to remove any region smaller than 10 ms from the active playlists
-batch fade
-then listen to make sure all the edits are smooth.

I hope I explained this well.
Does any have a method for this?

Thanks in advance.

command shift U
command shift B
Enter

wouldn't that just clear all unused audio?

I just would like to tell pro tools to clear all regions in a playlist that are under a specified length, say, 10 ms. You know, the ones that mess w/ making proper cross-fades.

The ones that you have to zoom in to see, and then clear, before you can "button up" a track?

Wouldn't that work with the Strip Silence?

Threshold 0dB
Min. Strip Duration 15 msec
Region Start Pad 0 msec
Region End Pad 0 msec
Extract

I think strip silence would assume that the "slivers" have no audio in them, which may or may not be the case.

Give it a try with the settings I mentioned. And press Extract.

Worked here - when I tested it quickly. But maybe I made a mistake.

If this work reliably, you just gavr me days , maybe years of my
"life" back.
Thank you so much!
