Slicing Audio
Slicing audio is useful if you want to change tempo and timing of the audio without affecting
its pitch and quality.
PREREQUISITE
The audio event is opened in the Sample Editor and the hitpoints are set at the correct
positions.
NOTE
When slicing audio, all events referring to the edited clip are also replaced.
PROCEDURE
Perform one of the following actions:
In the Hitpoints section, click Create Slices.
Select Audio> Hitpoints> Create Audio Slices from Hitpoints.
RESULT
The areas between the hitpoints are sliced and become separate events. The original audio
event is replaced by an audio part containing the slices.
On playback, the audio plays back seamlessly at the project tempo.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
Change the project tempo. The slices are moved accordingly, keeping their relative positions
within the part.
Double-click the sliced audio part and replace or extract individual slices in the Audio Part
Editor.

Slices and the Project Tempo
The project tempo affects how the sliced audio is played back.
Project Tempo Is Slower Than the Original Audio
If the project tempo is slower than the tempo of the original audio event, there may be
audible gaps between the slice events in the part. If this is the case, you have the following
options:
Select Audio> Advanced> Close Gaps (Timestretch).
This applies time stretch to each slice and closes the gaps. Consider activating auto
fades for the corresponding audio track. Fade-outs set to 10
ms help eliminate clicks.
Select Audio> Advanced> Close Gaps (Crossfade).
