Changing the Start and End Point of Segments
If the start or the 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 you have activated Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section.
Procedure
- Select one or several segments.
- On the Sample Editor toolbar, activate Audition to audition the segments.
- Compare the start and the end positions of the segments with the pitch curve.
-
Do one of the following:
-
If a segment starts too early or too late, hold down Alt/Opt, 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/Opt, 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.
NoteYou can only drag the segment start or the segment end up to the boundaries of the next segment. Segments cannot overlap.
-
Result
The start and the end positions of the segments are changed according to your edits. The average pitch of the segment is recalculated.
Changing the length of a segment may lead to a different average pitch and therefore, to a pitch change.
