Chapter 17: Working with Regions and Selections 271
To trim from an end point to insertion:
1 With the Selector, click inside the region or
note where you want the new end point to be.
2 Choose Edit > Trim > End To Insertion. The re-
gion’s end point is automatically trimmed to the
insertion point.
Trimming with Nudge
You can trim the start and end points of a region
by nudging them.
To trim a region’s start or end point by the Nudge
value:
1 Configure the Nudge value. For details, see
“Defining the Nudge Value” on page 276.
2 With the Grabber, select the region you want
to trim.
3 While pressing Alt (Windows) or Option
(Macintosh), press Plus or Minus on the nu-
meric keypad to trim the region’s start point by
the Nudge value.

While pressing Control (Windows) or Com-
mand (Macintosh), press Plus or Minus on the
numeric keypad to trim the region’s end point
by the Nudge value.
Sliding Regions
A region or group of selected regions (on the
same track or on multiple tracks) can be slid
with the Grabber tool to new locations or to
other tracks. This feature is useful in music and
post production applications where the timing
of audio events such as sound effects and dialog
need to be spotted to music, film, or video.
Sliding regions is affected by whether the cur-
rent Edit mode is set to Shuffle, Slip, Spot, or
Grid. See “Edit Modes” on page 224 for details.
Shuffling Regions
In Shuffle mode, you can move regions freely
within a track or onto another track, but their
movement is constrained by other regions. That
is, if you place several regions in a track, their
start and end points automatically snap to each
other. You can then “shuffle” their order, but
you cannot separate them from each other and
you cannot make them overlap as in Slip mode.
In Shuffle mode, adding another region to the
beginning of a track moves all subsequent re-
gions to the right by the length of the region
added.
Region end trimmed to insertion
You can slide a copy of a region to another
location or track by pressing Alt (Windows)
or Option (Macintosh) while dragging.
To retain a region’s location when dragging
to another track, press the Start key (Win-
dows) or Control (Macintosh) while drag-
ging.
