Wavicler

Tool for manipulating and slicing audio waves. The general idea is to use it to chop up pieces of audio into chunks that can be used in a music production DAW. The selection can be by sample, time, or beats (based on user supplied BPM). Note that internally everything is referenced by sample index.

Caveats:

• Everything internal is 32 bit fp 44100Hz.
• Uses int for sample index. This gives us a theoretical maximum clip time of about 1.3 hours. In actuality it uses a setting from AudioLib to limit this (default is 10 minutes). This gives plenty of time for the purpose of this application.

UI

  • Select two times using ?? resolution.
  • Shows number of samples and time in UI.

• Sample mode:

  • Select two samples using ?? resolution.
  • Shows number of samples and time in UI.

• Beat mode:
