334 Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement
 Split: Divides overlapping notes across the two MIDI regions; two notes are created,
with the same pitch and velocity as the original, and with the same total length as
the original note.
About Zero Crossings When Dividing Audio Regions
The Audio > Search Zero Crossings setting in the local Arrange menu has no effect
when dividing audio regions, using any of the methods outlined above.
Audio > Search Zero Crossings, when enabled, only applies to alterations of the start or
end point of a region, not divide operations.
If you want to automatically divide an audio file into multiple regions, make use of the
Strip Silence function.
Dividing Audio Regions With Strip Silence
The Audio > Strip Silence function in the Arrange menu launches a window which
allows you to slice an audio recording into different audio regions. This division is based
on analysis of amplitude levels within the audio file. A detailed description of this
function can be found in Chapter 22, “Removing Silent Passages From Audio Regions,”
on page 519.
Merging Regions
You can merge two or more selected regions (of the same type—audio or MIDI) into a
single region, making region handling easier, or as a creative option.
To merge two or more regions with the Glue tool:
1 Select the Glue tool.
2 Click the regions that you wish to merge (if necessary, use Shift during selection).
To merge two or more regions with the Merge Regions command:
1 Select the regions you’d like to merge with the Pointer tool.
2 Choose Region > Merge > Regions (or use the corresponding key command).
This merges all selected regions, even those on different tracks, into a single region.
