3 Press slash (/) to nudge the selected ma-
terial forward by the next Nudge Value.

Start key (Windows), press slash or M.
Nudging a Region’s Contents
Often a region’s start point will reside at
the correct location, perhaps at a SMPTE
frame or bar, but the material within the re-
gion starts too late or early. You can, in ef-
fect, nudge a region’s audio waveform or
MIDI notes without displacing the region’s
start and end points.
This “sliding” of region contents is only
possible if there is material residing outside
the region’s start and end points—from the
region having been trimmed, or perhaps
captured from a larger region.
To nudge the contents of a region without
changing the region start/end points:
1 Configure the Nudge value as desired. For
details, see “Defining the Nudge Value” on
page 187.
2 With the Grabber, select the region
whose contents you want to nudge.
3 While pressing Control (Macintosh) or
the Start key (Windows), press Plus or Mi-
nus on the numeric keypad to move the
material by the Nudge value.
Shift Command
Use the Shift command to move track ma-
terial forward or back in time by a specified
amount. The Shift command can operate
on regions, MIDI notes, MIDI controller
data, and automation breakpoints.
To shift a selection or region:
1 Using either the Selector or Grabber, se-
lect the track material to be shifted. The se-
lected material can even reside on multiple
tracks.
2 Choose Edit > Shift. In the Shift dialog,
select whether the data will be moved Ear-
lier or Later.
3 Click in one of the Timebase fields to
specify the amount the material will be
shifted. Entering a value in one Timebase
field automatically updates the others.
