Chapter 15: Working with Regions and Selections 191
If tracks are grouped, copying and pasting
on any of the tracks affects each of the
other tracks in the group. Tracks that are
hidden—even if they are part of a group be-
ing edited—are not affected by edits.
The current Edit mode affects how material
is selected, copied, and pasted:
• In Slip mode, the Cut command leaves
an empty space corresponding to the
data removed from the track.
• In Shuffle mode, the Cut command
leaves no empty space, since the regions
to the right of the cut slide over, closing
the gap.
• In Slip mode, pasted data can overlap an
adjacent region.
• In Shuffle mode, pasted data causes all
regions to slide over to make room for
the pasted material.
New regions are often auto-created when
performing edits. For instance, when clear-
ing a selection from a region, new regions
are auto-created from the material residing
outside of the selection.
Clear Command
Use the Clear command to remove a selec-
tion from a track without placing it on the
Clipboard.
To clear a selection or region:
1 If desired, set the Edit mode to Grid to
constrain the selection to the current Grid
value.
2 Set the Display Format for the tracks you
want to edit.
When displaying waveforms for audio
tracks, or notes or regions for MIDI tracks,
selections include underlying automation
and controller data. If the track is display-
ing automation data, only the automation
data is affected by the edits.
3 Drag with the Selector in the track to se-
lect the material you want to clear.
– or –
Use the Grabber to select one or more re-
gions (or a group of MIDI notes).
4 Choose Edit > Clear to remove the selec-
tion.
If a portion of a region was cleared, new re-
gions are auto-created from the material re-
siding outside of the selection. If working
in Shuffle mode, adjacent regions are slid
over, as necessary, to fill the blank space.
Cut and Copy Commands
Use the Copy command to place a selec-
tion on the Clipboard so it can be pasted to
another track, or to the same track at a dif-
ferent location.
Use the Cut command to place the selec-
tion on the Clipboard while also removing
it from the track.
To cut or copy a selection or region:
1 If desired, set the Edit mode to Grid to
constrain the selection to the current Grid
value.
2 Set the Display Format for the tracks you
want to edit.
When displaying waveforms for audio
tracks, or notes or regions for MIDI tracks,
selections include underlying automation
and controller data. If the track is display-
ing automation data, only the automation
data is affected by the edits.
