Moving Segments on the Timeline

If a note is at the wrong position after cutting the segment, you can move it horizontally.

Prerequisite

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

Procedure

  1. Compare the segments with the waveform envelope for each note.
  2. Optional: Select one or several segments and on the Sample Editor toolbar, activate the Audition to audition the segments.
  3. Move the mouse pointer over the upper border of the segment, click and drag to the left or to the right.


    Note

    You can only move the segment until the boundaries of the next segment. Segments cannot overlap.

Result

The segment is moved. The average pitch of the segment is recalculated.

Note

Changing the length of a segment may lead to different average pitch and therefore to a pitch change. If the non-tonal portions of the audio increase, the segment may be deleted.
