Sometimes you nail it and sometimes you don’t. For the times that you don’t, Explain Everything has a feature that makes it simple to delete a piece of your audio and try again! The Timeline offers many ways to edit and adjust your recordings, but today we’re only looking at how to split and delete a piece of audio!
This week’s Tuesday Tip will explore splitting and deleting a portion of audio from your timeline.
What you’ll need
- An Explain Everything project with recorded audio
Step 1
After making a fresh recording or opening a project that contains a recording, tap the time next to the record button to open the Timeline.
Step 2
With the Timeline open, scroll the playhead to where you would like split your audio. Touch and hold on the Timeline and then tap Split.
Pro Tip
- Want to just remove a section of audio? Split your timeline on both sides of the problem area, touch and hold on it, and tap Delete!
Step 3
Now that your Timeline’s audio is split, touch and hold on the split portion and tap Delete.
Splitting audio on your Timeline and deleting it is a simple way to fix recording mistakes or unwanted sounds! Start splitting and present audio perfection!
