Editing in Soundtrap

Editing your recordings in Soundtrap is super easy. Use the tools below to get started.

1. Splitting clips

When you have a recording or music, you have a single long piece of audio. To edit, we need to break that up into chunks that we can move around or delete. To do that, we "split" the audio:

1. Click the timeline to move the purple marker. Move the purple marker to the portion of the section that you want to remove or move.

2. In the file menu, go to Edit → Split Region. Now you've made one break.

3. Move the purple marker to the end of the section that you want to remove or move. Again, go to Edit → Split Region.

4. Now click on the section to delete it or move it.

2. Adjusting the beginning or end of a clip

Hover over the edge of the clip until your mouse becomes a move icon. Click and drag the edge of the clip to adjust the beginning or the end.

3. Adding music

Drag and drop music files from your computer into Soundtrap. You can edit them using steps 1 & 2 above, just like your recordings.

4. Fading in and out

1. Click on the clip, select Edit → Fade in

2. Click on the clip, select Edit → Fade out

3. Click and drag the bubble at the top of the faded triangle to adjust the length of the fade

4. Recommended to fade in and out all music and most recordings.

5. Adjusting volume overall

Now you know how to edit!
