Unmerge Soundbytes

Post by Aaron Guidry »

Is there a way to unmerge soundbytes? I have merged several smaller soundbytes together, but now want to look at them separately again.

Thanks!

The originals should be listed in the soundbites windows with similar names. You might create a similar track and move the originals to their time stamp. They'll likely just go there if you drag them to the left side of the tracks window.

You could...
Do a 'Save As' then go back in undo history.
Or...
Find a before merged version in the AutoSave folder.

After doing one of those, you could copy the track with all the soundbites, then open the newer version and paste it in a New Take of the track.

I almost always Duplicate Take before Merging... just in case.

Thanks guys for the advice.

I wish there was a way to simply highlight the merged audio and select "unmerge" and it goes back to how it was. Oh well!

Thanks again!
