I am looking for a tool, an app, or whatever. I simply don't know where to start.
I have more feature requests but for now, can anyone point me in the good direction?
Example: I record a drum machine. Bass drum. Say my volume is set up and I recorded 80 hits with my decay and tune in various positions. Between each hit, there is a silence. The recording is one single wav file.
Is there a tool that can automatically and perfectly detect the first transient (or what's the best way) and then silence it after the hit, so that in the end it can extract all of my samples as a separate file? A bonus would be that I define a naming formula so I am ending with 80 files named by a specific prefix (but that is not mandatory).

You're welcome..

Wavelab Pro is the only version that does auto-splitting (and it is still a rather confusing operation at that) so unless you want to pony up $500 or so for a license, don't bother.

This guy replied to me some times ago, and i think his stuffs are good for you (i didn't use it myself 'cause i have too many short samples that the program ignores)
EDIT
Lol, i've just reinforced the previous post suggestions
Did'nt realized that was the same program, sorry

Surely you can make Audacity do that?

Hi there,
a while ago I made a software for this purpose.
Look @ www.pulpoaudio.com , it's called SamplingSession.
Should do everything you described.
Cheers
Rudi

I´d suggest MRecorder for and simply! record the drums individually with ist. You just have to hit record and stop afterwards. It´ll cut and name the filtes automatically.
And furthermore there are samplers (Halion, MPC, ...) with a slice mode that can be helpful. But at the end of the day Wavelab.

Reaper is an inexpensive, full-featured DAW that has this function.
