View Full Version : Performer: Anyway to Glue Together a "Snip"?

Is there any way to glue back together a soundbite from which you have
"snip"ped out a fragment (other than bouncing it to disk)?

Alternatively, is there some way to group together, like graphical
objects in a graphics editor, the two soundbite pieces, so that I can
move them around as one single object?

I can't seem to find a way to do either, but perhaps I'm missing it.

I'm transferring from old cassettes a series of Ear-Training exercises I
recorded many years ago, so that I can practice in the car or on hiking
trails and such. Now that it's in Performer, I also have an opportunity
to snip out a few bad spots, such as where I got lost in my script
("uh... uh... where was I? ..."), or where I dictated a question wrong,
or stated a wrong answer for it. I'd like to be able glue the results
back into a single manageable soundbite.

Unfortunately, when I do a snip, I'm inherently creating a skip in the
raw sound file, so to rejoin them into a single soundbite, I'd have to
modify the sound-file content (or some sort of skip directive or
something like that), and best I can tell, Performer won't let you do that.

Thanks folks!
