slice the clip at "lets say the 2nd third of a clip" to do this get the play line to where you want to slice then press "/"

OK, how does one then concatenate them into one later?djsubject wrote:slice the clip at "lets say the 2nd third of a clip" to do this get the play line to where you want to slice then press "/"

Thanks for your comments guys. I'll download the demo.
One thing attracting me to Podium is that it is the creation of a single developer - Frits Nielsen. As a result there seems to be lots of contact with Frits (if necessary), and regular updates.
Tracktion used to be like this, and it will be interesting to see what interaction there is when T2 is available. For me, this was always one of the attractions.

Destructively adding clips together? I hope never, destructive editing has no place in a sequencer IMO.warmonger wrote:Render the track, or wait until that feature is added in some future (hopefully 2.x) Tracktion version.
If you're talking about grouping, soon I hope; it's in the FR list and one of my favorite missing feature.

clip != audio. cutting a clip in two does nothing to the underlaying audio. joining two clips into one clip wouldn't do anything to the underlaying audio either... It's just the representation that you work with.Ezy Ryder wrote:Destructively adding clips together? I hope never, destructive editing has no place in a sequencer IMO.

Rendering isn't really destructive as you end up with a new audio file, leaving the originals intact.Ezy Ryder wrote:Destructively adding clips together? I hope never, destructive editing has no place in a sequencer IMO.

Rendering a new audio file feels like a kludge. It's slow. It requires twice as much disc space for each edited track.This is a problem when the take is more than an hour long and you rearange multiple parallell tracks (as in recorded multitrack concert). It's a workaround. It's certainly not the best way I can think of doing it.platinumears wrote:Rendering isn't really destructive as you end up with a new audio file, leaving the originals intact.

No arguments there! Group Clips (or whatever solution Jules eventually implements) are my own personal most-wanted feature.. I just disagreed with the term "destructive"..larsfarm wrote: It's a workaround. It's certainly not the best way I can think of doing it.

if you cut the clip, and you want to put them back together, you make use of the fact that the clips are just pieces of the file...
drag the corner markers out, and you'll see the rest of the file still hiding there. you can stretch back as much of it as you like.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

I know, I was refering to possible new feature ie:destructively gluing clip together. As to non-destructive grouping à la Vegas, it's one of my pet FR also...platinumears wrote:Rendering isn't really destructive as you end up with a new audio file, leaving the originals intact.Ezy Ryder wrote:Destructively adding clips together?

Interesting...I can't really see the point in working destructively in a non-destructive environment, but let me throw this out as a possible suggestion: I think it would be cool & useful if you could export selected audio to be edited as a file, and then be able to import the audio back in.
Of course, you can do the 2nd part already. But the export could be useful, there have been times when I wanted to edit or apply effects outside of traktion to a portion of what I was working on. I could, of course, open the master file, make my edits, and re-import the audio - but that's too much of an interrupt in my workflow.
But if I could take a clip,
/audioclip/
maybe repeat it a few times,
/audioclip/audioclip/audioclip/
then select that, and choose a command to export the selection to a temp file & open it in my editor of choice (in my case, probably Audacity) where I could mangle it to my heart's content & save it for importation, that could be simple enough to be useful hopefully without traktion taking too big of a hit to make it happen.
An auto-import option, with maybe "replace/insert/append/prepend audio?" options would be neat, but certainly much more difficult to implement. But is what I suggest interesting? Feasible?
