Using Auto Split 16 – 343
• On the second page you select the type of splitting you wish to perform:
• The third page of the dialog varies according to the chosen split method.
The following pages of the dialog are common to all types of Auto Split, except that certain
options are greyed out in the dialogs if not applicable.
• The fourth page is where you specify what to do with the regions created
by Auto Split.
You can choose to save the regions as separate files or to create clips and add these to a
new or existing Montage. You can also select to not split the file(s) but to create markers at
the split points instead. Click the question mark icon in the dialog for details.
• On the fifth page you can set various options.
Here you can insert silence at the start and/or end of the files, or automatically assign root
key note numbers to the files. Click the question mark icon in the dialog for details.
• On the last page you specify how the files, clips or markers created by
Auto Split should be named before finally performing the splitting.
Options include a source file name plus a key name or number, or the file name as specified
in a text file. Click the question mark icon in the dialog for details.
Option Description
Split according to
markers
This will split the file(s) at specific marker positions. If you select this, the
next page allows you to select which marker type should govern where
splitting will occur.
Split at specific
intervals
This will split the file(s) at specific time intervals. If you select this, the
next page allows you to specify this time interval (and thus the duration
of each region).
Split between
silences
This will split the file(s) so that each non-silent section becomes a sepa-
rate region. If you select this, the next page lets you specify the minimum
region duration, minimum duration of a silent section, and the signal level
that should be considered as “silence”.
Learn regions from
text file
This mode allows you to split an audio file according to a description of
regions stored in a text file. See “About the “Learn regions from text file”
option” on page 346.
Split at beats This option will detect “beats” in the audio material and split the file(s) at
each beat. If you select this, the next page allows you to specify the sen-
sitivity of the beat detection, the minimum beat level to create a split
point, and the minimum region duration (i.e. no regions shorter than the
specified duration will be created).
Cut head and tail This will remove sections from the start and/or end of the file(s), either
silent sections or sections specified by you on the next page.
Convert stereo files
to two mono files
This will split stereo files into two mono files. Since there are no addi-
tional settings for this, the next page will be the “fourth page” below, on
which you specify where to save the files.
