Edit the selected audio in an external app#

The selected program will be run with the path to a temporary file as an argument. Normally, the application will open that file, otherwise you will have to open it manually.

Hint

You can select and copy the path in the dialog.

Once you’ve made your changes to the file, close the external app and press OK. Zrythm will then apply your changes to the selected audio part.

Important

The length of the audio must stay exactly the same, otherwise this operation will fail.
