Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 605)

You can use the Strip Silence function to automatically remove silent passages from audio
regions. The basic premise of the Strip Silence process is simple: all amplitude values
below a threshold value are interpreted as silence, and removed. New regions are created
from the remaining passages. This process takes place in the Strip Silence window.
