Exporting Individual Clips in the Same Audio Track?

Post by itsloko » Mon Nov 21, 2016 8:36 pm

I just spliced up a bunch of drum samples I recorded the other day to make a sample pack and now I'm stuck with a bunch of audio clips in individual audio tracks. Is there a way to quickly export each audio clip, or quickly transfer each sample into its own individual audio track?

Well, if you flatten these the audio as heard will already be on disk, so just find those by right-clicking and choosing — for a new project set — "Select in Finder" (on Mac, I think it's Explorer in Win) or "Select in Browser" — For the same set you're already in — and drag the candidates into a new project or the empty track area respectively while holding Cmd (mac) or Ctrl (Windows). Each clip will get its own track. If you prefer the original untreated audio you can skip flattening and just drag the original found the same way.

Alternatively, if you want to stay in Live and it's just a few tracks, just duplicate [the amount of tracks] times and delete clips already in a previous track.

You can also drag drop a clip back into the folders on the left. The only drawback is that it won't only export the clip or wav itself, it will also export a clip file and its nested folder structure to hold the samples. A right click, and save/export as... would make so much sense. Or just to be to drag the wav into the folders on the left...
