There is a way that is not fully automatic but should save you plenty of time nevertheless. It is based on Martin’s suggestion to move to events and then split there. I use the Range tool in order not to cut any events on other tracks.
I made the following macro and assigned it to a key command:
Here is my initial multi-lane recording, comped:
The track at the bottom is just there to demonstrate that the splits do not occur outside of the lanes.
In the next step I recorded additional lanes:
Then:
- select “Basic Vox” (on the picture I selected all lanes as well but that is not necessary)
- switch to the Range tool
- create a small initial range on track “Basic Vox”, its left border = left border of your recordings
- apply the macro (as many times as you have cuts)
This method reads cumbersome but if you apply it in reality it is quiet fast and accurate. Don’t forget to turn off Grid before you use the macro.
