As you work on a project, you may decide that a clip that sounded great on its own no
longer fits with the overall composition. You can remove clips from a project by deleting
them from the Timeline.

Splitting and Joining Audio Clips

You may want to use only part of the source audio file in an audio clip. Soundtrack Pro
lets you split the clip into segments and use the segments in the Timeline as independent
clips. You can move the segments, edit them, and split each one into additional segments.
You can also easily (re)join clips.

You can split clips by using the Split command or by using the Blade (razor) and Blade
All tools. Each method has advantages, depending on the situation.

Splitting Clips with the Blade Tool

Using the Blade tool, you can perform many splits consecutively without moving the
playhead each time.
