Editing for DJs

How to split and join clips in an audio session

Split a clip at the cursor and merge whole sections of the same lane into a new editable audio source.

Open QuickEdit

The editor interface is in Spanish for now. Button names appear in Spanish, followed by their meaning in English.

Split to edit one part

Place the cursor inside the clip you want to separate and press Dividir (split). You can also press Ctrl + I or choose Dividir aquí (split here) by right-clicking on the waveform. Both sections stay on the same track. Now you can move one, trim its edges or change its gain without changing the other.

For example, split a take before a phrase that sounds quiet. Adjust that section’s gain and listen to how it joins what is around it. Use Deshacer (undo) if the cut lands inside a word.

Join once the edit is in place

Select a range that covers at least two whole clips on the same lane and press Unir clips (join clips). The clips must share their mute and solo states and must not be part of a linked crossfade. If part of one is missing from the selection, widen the edges until it is fully covered.

QuickEdit creates a new WAV source with the parts, the gaps between them, the clip fades and the gain settings. Track and master effects stay available for further editing. On the web, joining uses the local render, which is subject to the length and memory limits for ranges.

Check the new source

Listen to the join in the session. If you decide to get the separate clips back, use Deshacer (undo). The joined WAV can be reused as a source from Mis archivos (my files). To get the sum of several tracks, use Export mix with all the tracks you want to hear.
