How do I slice at transients, then save all the slices as WAVs?

Post by DataLife » Sun Feb 28, 2021 9:47 pm

I have 8 bars of a guitar player that I want to slice at transients, then save all the slices as individual WAV files to bring into Kontakt.

What's the fastest way to do this? I don't want to do the slicing/saving manually.

TIA!

edit: nevermind, pretty easy to do in Pro Tools.

Right click (ctrl click) on audio file in arrange view.

Slice to new midi track

In pop up dialogue select slice to "Transient" & choose eg Sampler Short from built in preset drop down (max 128 slices).

Click the "zone" tab and select all zones that appear above the device view in the newly created sampler & right click (ctrl click)

Select Crop Sample

Now you can find all your individual sample slices in the project folder/samples/processed/crop

Thanks, but I'm trying to make thousands of these samples, so I can't select "crop sample" for each one. :) That was my holdup before.

You can select all slices at once in Sampler and use "Crop Sample" just once, no need to do it one by one.
