- Clone and Substitute
-
Creates a copy of the source audio file and makes the clip refer to this new file. As a result, you can modify the new source file without affecting other clips of the original audio file. The cloned audio file is saved in the implicit folder that is specified in the Folder for Audio Files field in the Audio Montages Preferences on the Active Audio Montage tab.
- Replace Audio File
-
Allows you to make the clip refer to another audio file while retaining all clip settings. The audio file must be at least as long as the end position of the clip. You cannot substitute a stereo file with a mono file or vice versa. Clicking the arrow icon opens the list of recently used folders.
- Time-Stretch to Cursor
-
Opens the Time Stretching dialog that allows you to time-stretch the clip so that it ends at the audio montage edit cursor position. When this function is used, a clone of the original audio file is created, containing the audio range used in the clip. The process is applied to the clone, and the clip refers to this file instead. Neither the original audio file nor other clips that refer to the same audio file are affected. The cloned audio file is saved in the implicit folder that is specified in the Folder for Audio Files field in the Audio Montages Preferences on the Active Audio Montage tab.
- Pitch Shifting
-
Opens the Pitch Shifting dialog where you can change the pitch of the clip. When this function is used, a clone of the original audio file is created that contains the audio range used in the clip. The process is applied to the clone, and the clip refers to this file instead. Neither the original audio file nor other clips that refer to the same audio file are affected. The cloned audio file is saved in the implicit folder that is specified in the Folder for Audio Files in the Audio Montages Preferences on the Active Audio Montage tab.
- Save Clip
-
Allows you to save a clip to disk as a separate file. This is useful if you have, for example, created a perfect fade, envelope, or clip effect configuration, but want to continue experimenting with the clip in the audio montage.
By saving the clip, you can always revert to the perfect version by reloading it. However, saved clips are still a reference to the original source file and contain no audio data.
