Playing and Processing Snippets

The resulting snippet can be heard with the preview, and once the file is processed. Snippets are considered as treatments.

• To prelisten to the resulting sound, click on the preview button of the player.

• To process the file, select Processing/Process Treatments.

When checking the result with a preview, you may want to preserve this selection for a subsequent use.

• Be careful not to click outside the selection to place the cursor : select it and drag it, otherwise, this would cancel the selection.

• You can then use the Shift key to expend the player's selected area.

  Unfortunately, a snippet cannot be played alone without unselecting the original region.

Additionnally to the previous method, a new sound file can be created out of a region – not a snippet– or snippets can be copied in a new soundfile.

To create a new sound file from one or several time/frequency regions,

1. select File/New Sound File from Selection...

2. choose a name and location for the new file

3. the new file will be created automatically but you will have to execute another sonogram analysis if you wish to visualize the spectrum of imported regions.

To copy snippets in a new soundfile

1. select File/New Sound File

2. choose a samplerate, sample size, a file type, a number of channels and a duration.

3. the new sound file will be empty

4. copy/cut and paste the snippets with a Ctrl + X or C-V or Edit/Cut or Copy-Paste

5. the snippets will be copied at the cursor's location.

To listen to the resulting sound, use the preview, or process the sound file.

For a final restitution, the sound file must be processed.

Among the other parameters of the window, the following must be taken into account :
