Splitting and combining clips
SONAR provides several commands that are used to split and combine clips. Specifically, you
can:Split a clip into several smaller clips
• Create a new clip from a selected portion of an existing clip
• Combine adjacent or overlapping clips into a single, longer clip
The following table summarizes the commands you can use.
The Split command lets you split clips four different ways.
To do this Use this command Notes
Split clips into parts • Right-click the clip and
choose Split on the
context menu
• Press S
Works on all selected clips. You can also press the s
key to split all selected clips at the Now Time.
Combine several clips
into one
Click the Track view Clips
menu and choose Bounce
to Clip(s)
If the selected clips are in separate tracks, one clip is
created for each track. All clip automation is applied
destructively to the new clip.
Table 57.
Note: Combining a stereo and mono clip always produces a stereo clip.
Option How it works
Split at Time Splits selected clips at a specific point in time. By default, the split occurs at the
Now time, but you can choose any time you want.
Split Repeatedly Splits selected clips at regular intervals, beginning at a specified time, with a
specified duration. For example, you could split a long clip into 4-bar clips starting
at measure 5.
Split at Markers Splits selected clips at any marker location. This option is available only if your
project has markers.
Split when Silent Removes “silent” stretches of one measure or more from selected clips. The
presence in a measure of any event—including those that make no sound, such as
a patch change or lyric event—will cause that measure to be retained.
