Chapter 6 Creating an Arrangement
Dividing Regions
You can slice any region into several parts, thus creating several individual regions. This
allows you to move, copy, and delete parts of your arrangment.
Try This
Divide a region:
Select the Scissors tool, then click any region at the required cut position. You can also 

hear the audio at the playhead position, making it easier to cut at the correct position.
Divide a region into multiple portions of equal length:
Hold down the Option key while cutting a region with the Scissors tool. The selected 
region is cut into several pieces—each the same length as the rst segment.
Divide a region using locators:
Click the shaded gray cycle area in the top part of the Bar ruler.1
