Segment Editing

Segment editing might be necessary if the original audio contains non-tonal portions of the analyzed audio, that is, signals or sections with unclear pitch information, such as consonants or effect sounds.

Non-tonal portions of the analyzed audio might not be included in a segment. If this is the case, pitch changes, volume editing, formant shifting, or timing modifications affect only the tonal portions. On the other hand, segments can contain unwanted notes or tonal portions.

To prevent this, you can edit the segments manually by using the smart controls.

Segment editing includes:

  • Shortening segments by splitting them, or changing their start or end point

  • Enlarging segments by glueing them to the next segment, or by changing their start or end point

  • Deleting segments

Note

Changing the length of a segment may lead to a different average pitch and therefore to a pitch change.
