Question Trimming Audio Clip

Hi all,

I have an audio clip, which starts the sound with a delay.

So, I want to cut the marked section. I found the "Trimming Clips" manual for 2018.4

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/TimelineTrimmingClips.html

But I couldn't find any info about this trimming function and if this was removed for 2020. I use 2020.3.3f1.
Is this "Trimming Clips" still available?
If not, what is the best solution for this? I would prefer a non destructive workflow.

 

I also need a way to trim clips (from code), but the AudioClip class seems pretty underwhelming.

Is there really no way to analyze/manipulate the raw data of an audio clip from within Unity? Are there any 3rd party plugins on the asset store that make this possible?

 

Gotta be some other people who are also disenchanted with Unity's current audio tools (or lack thereof).

Is there really no easy way to trim an audio clip like this?

 

If you can't trim it externally, a workaround is

audioSource.time = 0.1f;

for example before calling Play, which would make it skip the first 1/10 of a second.

 

That could be a possible solution, IF it were possible to record a playing audio clip? Anyone know if that's possible?
