You can split a long recording into samples. This is useful if you are working with a sampler, for example, HALion.
Procedure
-
Open an audio file in the Audio Editor.
-
Select the Process tab.
-
In the Split section, click Auto
Split.
-
In the Auto Split dialog, select Audio File in
Active Window and click Next.
-
Select Split at Silences and click
Next.
-
Set up the page according to the audio file and click
Next.
Adjust the first setting according to the length of the shortest recorded
note, the second setting according to the shortest period of silence between
two notes, and the third setting according to the level of the silence
between the notes.
-
Select Save as Separate Files, specify the format and
location for the new files, and click Next.
-
On the Options page, activate Assign
Key, select Detect Pitch, and click
Next.
This way, the correct key is assigned to each sample. If you activate Quantize to Nearest Semitone, WaveLab Pro sets the key according to the closest semitone. If not, the Detune setting in the sample may also be adjusted, according to any pitch deviations.
-
Select the naming option As Audio File Name + Key and
click Finish.
Result
The file is split according to your settings, and new files are created in the
specified location.
