Quick Guide

Place the Space Holders

The space holders will assist you in cutting with rhythm. eliminating the need to zoom in on each cut you want to make along the track. Only locate the first beat of the music file and make a cut at the zero point.

Add the space holder to a new audio track and place it, magnet function on, at the first beat of the track where you made the cut. The 4 or 8 Bar space holder will work fine.


Copy and paste the space holder along the entire music track.

Cut desired parts of the music track

Locate desired parts of the track, which you want to use for your Scene.

Use the magnet function to cut these parts. The Space Holders will help you stay in rhythm at all times.

Move the parts around till you are happy with duration and structure of the new arrangement.

Add the masking tools

Step 1#

Create a new audio track and place a shorter space tool, such as a one or two-bar space holder, at the first beat of the track. Then copy and paste the space holder along the entire music track

Step2#

Now you can start to add desired sounds such as uprisers, one shots, or others at the cutting points to make the transitions sound more natural. Create intros, breaks, and endings and let your creativity flow freely.

Apply a crossfade or fade effect

Play back the edited section and listen carefully for any crackling or popping sounds at the cutting points. If you detect any issues, apply a crossfade or fade-in or -out effect to the beginning or end of the newly separated audio. Adjust the length of the fade according to your preference, but keep it short enough to maintain the rhythm and impact of the music.

Apply a high-pass filter or reverb automation

Insert a high-pass filter plugin on the master track or the track(s) you want to affect. Automate the cutoff frequency to gradually rise from its starting position towards the end before the transition in a other part. This filtering effect creates a sense of closure and anticipation and refines the created transitions you can achieve similar effects by using reverb. Apply a reverb effect to the entire track or the elements you want to emphasize.  Increase the reverb level gradually as you approach the ending section. This enhances the sense of space and depth, contributing to the overall impact of the transition and acts as a glue effect which makes the song sounds more professionally.
