I was thinking I could do this by setting the playback cursor in the main window, creating a marker in the audio editor at the playback cursor point (I don't see any info on the sample position of the cursor), noting the sample position and using an external audio editor. Alas, the markers don't snap to the grid as they do in the main window.
Any ideas?
Why do I want to split a file? So I can edit three different tempo sections using Melodyne for quantization. Melodyne only supports one tempo at a time.

In the audio editor, the markers are snapped to zero-crosses.jonljacobi wrote:Alas, the markers don't snap to the grid as they do in the main window.
Does this answer your question(s)?

Actually, I noticed this. I have found that if I zoom in far enough that I can create a marker to line up with the playback cursor, then get the exact sample location by double-clicking on the marker. But only if the playback marker is lining up with a zero point.
If the playback marker is sample accurate, and the markers are snapping to zero points and don't line up, then I'm still left with no real way to know at exactly what sample I should be splitting the audio file at. I can get very close by zooming way down, but the time/sample grid bar only gets down to the 10's, not individual samples and the playback cursor doesn't seem to snap to the individual sample.
Admittedly, this is probably way more accurate than I need to be and once I rejoin the files they should be fine. Just blame this thread on OCD.
