Changing the Start and End Point of Segments

If the start or end point of a segment does not match the associated audio, you can change it.

Prerequisite

You have opened the audio in the Sample Editor and activated Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section.

Procedure

  1. Select one or several segments.
  2. On the Sample Editor toolbar, activate Audition to audition the segments.
  3. Compare the start and end positions of the segments with the pitch curve.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • If a segment starts too early or too late, hold down Alt, move the mouse pointer over the smart control on the middle left corner of the segment, and click and drag to the right or to the left.

    • If a segment ends too early or too late, hold down Alt, move the mouse pointer over the smart control on the middle right corner of the segment, and click and drag to the right or to the left.

    Note

    You can only drag the segment start or end until the boundaries of the next segment. Segments cannot overlap.

Result

The start and end positions of the segments are changed according to your edits. The average pitch of the segment is recalculated.

Note

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