Dividing a file at the current playback point

You can divide a single file into two files. Dividing a file helps you quickly locate the point from which you want to play in a long recording file, such as a meeting recording. You can further divide either of the divided files.

  1. Select the file that you want to divide, and then play the file and stop at a point where you want to divide the file.
  2. Select [Divide] - [Current Position] from the OPTION menu, and then press.

  3. On the preview screen, make sure that the dividing point is where you wanted, and then press .

    [Divide at Current Stop Position?] appears on the display window.

  4. Pressorto select [Yes], and then press.

    [Please Wait] appears, and the divided files will be suffixed with a sequential number ([_01] for the first part, and [_02] for the second part).

    A. Before dividing a file:indicates where you divided the file.

    B. After dividing a file: A suffix made up of a sequential number ([_01] for the first part, and [_02] for the second part) is added to the file name of the divided files.

Note

  • While playback of a file is in progress, you cannot divide the file.

  • You cannot divide a protected file. To divide a protected file, remove the protection from the file first, then divide the file. For instructions on removing protection, see Protecting a file.

  • You cannot divide a file if:

    • The file is recorded by a device other than the linear PCM recorder.

    • An attempt to divide the file is made at a point within 0.5 seconds from the beginning or the end of the file.

    • The total number of recorded files reaches the maximum number of recordable files. ([File Full] appears on the display window.)

    • The new file name exceeds the maximum number of characters.

    • The file name after division is identical to an existing file in the folder.

  • If there is a track mark within 0.5 seconds from the dividing position, the division will proceed by deleting the track mark.

  • BWF files have the same time stamp information as the source file.

  • If the current position is near the beginning or end of a file, the file will remain undivided.

Hint

  • To cancel the dividing process, select [No] in step 4, and then press.

  • On your linear PCM recorder, you cannot combine divided files.

    [SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12] is capable of dividing and combining files.
