Cleanup Audio - Cut and Splice

 Cleanup Audio - Cut and Splice

To cut out an unwanted section of audio, select it (shift-click and drag) and then click on the Cut and Splice button . If you don't like what you hear, select Undo (Ctrl+Z), adjust the edges of the selection and try again.

VinylStudio cross-fades the sound on either side of the cut to make the cut less obvious; select your desired splice length by right-clicking on the waveform display before you make your cut (use the shortest period if, as is common, you are cutting out bad scratches). You can also set the splice length by clicking on the down-arrow symbol in the toolbar

Cuts are shown in the waveform display as a vertical blue dotted line which, as you zoom in, becomes a cross-hatch showing the cross-faded area:

To delete a cut, select it in the corrections list and then right-click and select Delete Cut (or press Del). If you zoom in sufficiently, you can also select a cut by clicking on it in the waveform display.

Truncating Overly Long Recordings

If your recording has a long period of silence at the end, as many do, you can save some disk space by truncating it. To do this, right-click on the waveform display at the appropriate point and then select Truncate Recording at Cursor. Please note that this operation cannot be undone.
