Split sample in audio track, possible?

hi

I'm trying to split a long sample in an audio track. I got a 30 bar sequence with an audio track and I want to split the sample at bar 12 (or wherever the playback cursor is), is there a way to do this other than searching for the split point in TRIM mode and using the extract function?

yeah i have been doing a remix comp, with stems and used the Audio tracks to just lay them out to hear all the stems play in time and together. So was thinking the same as you Astronaut. This is the method I used to do what you want to do. I have audio track as active now got to bar that you want to start on, in your case bar 12. take off loop and record output of sampler. This will give you cut out resampled bit of your bars. Can be glitchy sometimes but generally works really well if tempo of sequence matches audio track.... I hope this solves your problem there Astronaut

If you mean that you record the MAIN OUT to another track, I do it like that too. But it would be much faster and easier if you could just have the extract function in an audio track, I mean if it is available in the TRIM mode it should not be very difficult to implement for audio tracks, or? This way you could extract samples according to steps/bars and not to some weird audio units like in TRIM mode. i.e. just like highlighting an area in midi/drum tracks.

well no i dont agree really. I mean i have that control by setting tempo to match audio tracks and start in the right place, ie starts on the bar, and sequence is in time. So those things determine the function. So if those parameters are not correct it wont wotk. I set the sequence to the bar i want to record, givin me a start point of all audio tracks in time. But i do not want it looping sometimes (continuos loop means editing in the trim window) so you can turn off loop or on but means more editing if on. I dont want to edit it sometimes in trim, being lazy. I got around this by using a mutes at the end of the part in the sequence i want to sample out. So this means i can extract exactly any bar or bars of a sequence, of multiple audio tracks playing at once and its all in time and works..Like I said you gotta make sure its in tempo and lines up with bars.
