How to change the source file of all audio clips on a track at once?

[MattMiller0605]

I recently installed waveform and I'm new to audio mixing. I have a problem. I inserted multiple audio clips of hi-hat sounds into a track, but now I have determined that these specific sounds are not the ones I desire. How can I edit all of the clips at once and replace them with new sounds rather than replacing them manually 1 by 1?

Exactly how are these audio clips inserted into a track - are these samples being played back in a sampler; did you record them "live" as audio files on a track all to themselves?

These are audio clips that I have sampled and taken out of my sample folder

Did you consider to edit your project file manually? It is just plain XML.
Look out for the audioclip tag. A simple search and replace should do the job if just the file name is different and the source dir stays the same.
If your source also differs create first a dummy project and add one clip from new source to determine new value for the source property.

Hope that helps

Hello! If you clicked "make a copy" when you imported your hi-hat sound, then this file was copied into the "Imported" project folder. Upload the new hi-hat to this folder and replace the previous file with it. Name the new file as the old one. If you did not create copies, then replace the original file directly in the folder from where it was imported. As a result, all clips of your first hi-hat will have the old name, but will play the new sound.
