DAW or plugin to chop long files into smaller pieces?

[Mr D]

Hey folks,

I'm looking for a DAW or plugin that can take an acapella that's 10 minutes long and chop it up into smaller snippets, depending on a level threshold. So if i pull the threshold way down, it'll chop it on each syllable. And then export all the samples in one go so i get separate WAV files.

Any suggestion are welcome!

Thanks!

You could try free Session 2 WAV by Björn Bojahr.

Not sure if Dynamic Split will do you perfectly in REAPER- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXZLUwZJ ... p=2AFskAIB

+ for Reaper's dynamic split command. Also you can manually place region markers and export regions as files with some efficientcy.

Thanks, taking a look at Reaper's Dynamic Split feature right now!

One thing i can't work out though: how to export all slices in one batch export. Any ideas?

Offhand, I think you can explode all items to individual tracks, then render them as independent wavs, but I can't tell you the operations atm. Perhaps mjolnir or someone else can say or provide another method?

No worries, i got the info from someone at the Reaper forum:

"Here's how I do it. Select all the items. In the Render window under the Source dropdown click on "Selected Media Items." In the file name area select the wildcard, $item. This will name the files with the media item name, and number each of them. Click Render at the bottom of the window."

Pro Tools strip silence will do it.

FL Slicex could prolly do this.
