This feature allows you to create a continuous Audio Segment from several Parts on the same Track. For example, you may want to use this for “cleaning up” after doing overdub recordings or assembling the best pieces after cycle recording. It also allows you to exclude any Parts containing silence exceeding a specified number of seconds.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the Audio Parts you want to Merge.
A single Part containing all the separate Audio Segments is created.
3. Select “Merge Audio Segments...” from the Structure menu.
A dialog box opens, giving you the option to “Create one File per Part” or “Create New File when Silence exceeds: (no. of seconds)”.
A warning that this operation can’t be undone appears.
5. Click OK.
If you open the Audio Editor (by double clicking the Part), you can see that the Part now contains a single Audio Segment.
If you choose this option, any Part using Segments containing silence exceeding a user specified number of seconds will be excluded from the operation. In other words the Part is “recut” to the way it was before the Join operation, as a separate Part.
