DAW Integration

Curlo integrates seamlessly with your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or video editor. Drag and drop audio files directly from Curlo into your project timeline.

Drag & Drop Files

To add an entire audio file to your project:

1. Find the audio file you want in Curlo.
2. Click and hold on the file row in the asset list.
3. Drag it directly to your DAW’s timeline, track, or browser.
4. Release to drop the file.

Drag & Drop Snippets

Often, you only need a specific part of a sound effect or a short musical phrase. Curlo allows you to select and drag just the portion you need:

1. Select an audio file to view its waveform in the bottom viewer.
2. Click and drag on the waveform to make a time selection.
3. Drag the highlighted area directly into your DAW.
4. The snippet will be instantly extracted and imported as a new audio clip in your project.

Bounce Snippets

In addition to dragging into your DAW, you can also bounce a selected snippet directly to a local folder or a Curlo collection.

1. Select an audio file and make a waveform selection in the Viewer.
2. Right-click the highlighted area to open the context menu.
3. Choose Bounce to Folder or Bounce to Collection:
   • Bounce to Folder — exports the snippet as a new audio file to a folder you choose.
   • Bounce to Collection — exports the snippet as a new file saved next to the original audio on disk, and automatically adds it to the selected collection.
