when I record vocals, I often end up with several vocal pieces on the same track. Some of them overlap for overdubbing, or for retakes. When I am done, I want to put them all back together into a single piece. I thought you would use the Glue tool to do this, but so far I haven’t figured out how.
I don’t see how to do this. I can click on select and it looks like I have highlighted all the track pieces, but the Glue tool remains dim.
How can I combine all the audio segments on a track, especially when they overlap, into a single audio segment.
Yes, we do recommend using Track Freeze to glue several audio events into a single audio event.
In addition, please note that there is a “Unfreeze Deletes Audio Track” setup option (located under Setup/Mixdown Freeze), which should be pretty helpful for your usecase.
Leaving this option “unchecked”, leads to keeping the audio file when tapping the freeze button again (to unfreeze the track).
