Changing the Start and End Point of Segments

If the start and end points of the segments do not match with the waveform envelope, you can change them.

Prerequisite

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

Procedure

  1. Compare the start and end positions of the segments with the waveform envelope for each note.
  2. Optional: Select one or several segments and on the Sample Editor toolbar, activate Audition to audition the segments.
  3. Perform one of the following actions:
    • If a segment starts too early, move the mouse pointer over the start of the segment, click and drag to the right.



    • If a segment ends too late, move the mouse pointer over the end of the segment, click and drag 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. If the non-tonal portions of the audio increase, the segment may be deleted.
