An audio segment contains recorded or sampled audio data,
3
instead of editable note-event data. Rosegarden allows you to
4
record, play, arrange and split audio segments, but does not
5
contain audio waveform editing facilities.
6
</p><p>To create an audio segment, you can <a href="recording.html" title="Recording">record</a> from an audio source onto a
7
track assigned to an audio instrument, or you can work with
8
existing WAV files. To do this, you need to use the audio
9
manager dialog (reached via <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">File</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Manage Audio Files</span></span>).

12
</p><p>You can drag-and-drop audio files from the KDE file
13
browser or your KDE desktop into the audio file manager, or you
14
can open them using its File menu. Then you can either
15
drag-and-drop them onto Rosegarden's track canvas, or use the
16
audio file manager's <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Action</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Insert into Selected
17
Audio Track</span></span> menu function, provided the current
18
selected track in the main window is assigned to an audio
19
instrument. Newly-recorded audio segments also appear in the
20
audio file manager dialog.</p><p>Details of the audio files associated with a particular
21
composition are saved with that composition, but the audio files
22
themselves are not. You should ensure your document has a
23
sensible audio file search path (via <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Composition</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Edit Document
24
Properties...</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Audio</span></span>)
25
so as to keep your audio files accessible together. You can also export
26
your project to a <span class="application">Rosegarden</span> project package file (.rgp) via
27
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">File</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Export</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Export Rosegarden Project File
28
</span></span> to collect any scattered audio files
29
together in one place.</p><p>The audio manager dialog also shows the sample-rate and
30
other information for each audio file, and marks with an
31
asterisk any audio file whose sample rate does not match that of
32
the current JACK audio session that Rosegarden is using.
33
Rosegarden will resample these files at playback time using a
34
very low quality zero order hold resampler. You are advised to
35
resample them separately using a separate dedicated audio editor
