The Audio Part Editor
Creating an audio part from regions
1. In the Project window, select the event you recorded in
Cycle mode.
After recording, this will play the last take.
2. Pull down the Audio menu and select “Events to Part”.
You are asked whether you want to “Create part using regions”.
3. Click “Regions”.
The regions are converted to an audio part.
Assembling a take
1. Double-click the part to open the Audio Part Editor.
Now, the different takes will be placed on different lanes, with the last
take at the bottom.
2. Use the tools to cut out pieces of the takes and as-
semble the final result.
This can include splitting with the Scissors tool, resizing events with the
Arrow tool or deleting with the Eraser tool.
• Remember that the events on the lowest lane have play-
back priority.
Use the Audition icon to audition the result.
3. Close the Audio Part Editor.
You have now assembled a “perfect take”!
Options and Settings
The following options and settings are available in the
Audio Part Editor:
• Snap
You can specify an independent Snap mode (and snap value for the Grid
mode) in the editor. The functionality is exactly the same as in the Project
window.
• Autoscroll
When Autoscroll is activated on the toolbar, the window will scroll during
playback, keeping the project cursor visible in the editor. This setting can
be activated or deactivated individually for each window.
• Snap to Zero Crossing
When this option is activated, all audio edits are done at zero crossings
(positions in the audio where the amplitude is zero). This helps you avoid
pops and clicks which might otherwise be caused by sudden amplitude
changes.
