I have a noisy guitar amp, lots of hum, but too much work to do in not enough time to address the hum issue right now, so what I do is meticulously chop up my guitar parts to remove all silence (well, hum actually) between phrases, and sometimes notes. It's pretty quick, actually, and sounds nice.

However, one I chop the shit out of a guitar track, is there some way I can merge them with only absolute silence between, so I'm looking at one big stripe instead of what looks like a roll of lifesavers? Right now I just using the 'group' function, but I was wondering if there was something like 'merge' or something. Seems like I remember something like that in the OLD cooledit se software I got with my Echo Darla way back when.

Thanks for any help.

There may be other ways, but why don't you just render that track. It will then be one long track again.

Also, remember that when you render it, don't give it the same name. That causes weird stuff to happen.

No need to render it.

1.) Right-Click + Drag to lasso select your items. (or CTRL + Click)
2.) Right-click -> "Glue Selected Items"

Awesome. I thought there might be a better way than what I suggested. Thanx.

Or why not just run a noise gate on the track so you don't have to cut the shit out of it?

[pipelineaudio]

because most noisegates won't do a very good job of discriminating the good stuff from the bad when it comes to guitar parts

With ReaGate though, you can use the hysteresis control and get a bit closer

any kind of noise gate may be of help. i do like Reagate. if that doesn't help, i say jus bear down and fix the amp... or get a modeler.

or, if the work isn't tedious enough to be bothersome to you, keep on doing it. whatever works for you, mang.
