Example for Using Auto Split for Audio Files

You can split a long recording into samples. This is useful if you are working with a sampler, for example, HALion.

1. Open an audio file in the Audio Editor.
2. Select the Process tab.
3. In the Split section, click Auto Split.
4. In the Auto Split dialog, select Audio File in Active Window and click Next.
5. Select Split at Silences and click Next.
6. 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.

7. Select Save as Separate Files, specify the format and location for the new files, and click Next.
8. 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.

9. Select the naming option As Audio File Name + Key and click Finish.
