Auto-Split Audio Track Question

Is it possible to "auto-split" an audio track into separate clips then save the clips within the track to separate audio files?

Define what you mean by auto split.

Surely there has to be some user action just to give Sonar some idea WHERE to split the clip.

The audio track is an hour long but there are short breaks where the volume drops to 'zero'.
So, is there a setting that will 'auto-split' the track at these points?
Or, do I need to set markers at the 'split points' and the tool, whatever it is, will split the track accordingly?

I manually split and slip edit tracks. I don't use the automated method although it should work for you.

Set the focus on the clip and hit s to split at the now time.

After you split the track is it possible to save each clip as a separate audio file?

One way is to select the clips, drag and drop them into a windows folder.

I thought as long as they were separate clips, they would be separate audio files in the Audio folder. No?

No, the resulting clips after splitting are still only parts of original clip based on one single WAV file in the Audio folder. To make them into separate clips each with its own WAV file, you need to select each one in turn and "bounce to clip".

Kev999,

What does Apply Trimming do?

I thought this would make them into distinct wave files... no?

Maybe that's what you would expect, but it doesn't seem to work that way, i.e. Apply Trimming doesn't create a separate WAV file. Try it and see.
