To split a sound or sounds, first position the caret at the split point you’d like. Select the sound or sounds and select "Split" or Ctrl+T to split the selected sound.
This can be useful when doing edits where you want one part of the sound to have an effect and the other to not. The split will make sure that no audio is lost and, thus, preserves continuity.
For example, Soundwarrior has recorded "Welcome to Sound Warrior’s World" and he wants the "World" to echo. He creates a second track with delay.. He then positions the caret right before the word "World" and selects the sound. Then he presses Ctrl+T or chooses "Split" from the Sound menu. Then he selects the sound and pushes the arrow down to move the sound to the second track!
"Not bad, not bad at all…" he thinks to himself! J
Here’s a pictorial example for those that like instant gratification.
BEFORE: (Notice the caret point is right after the word "AM")
AFTER: You now have 2 clips!
