The Audio Clip Right-Click Menu
When you right-click on an audio clip, you
will be presented with a pop-up menu (Fig.
4.6.8) displaying the following options:
Cut: Select this to perform a standard “cut”
operation. The selected clip(s) will be removed
and added to the clipboard.
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + X (CMD + X for
Mac users).
Copy: Select this to perform a standard “copy”
operation. The selected clip(s) will be added to
the clipboard.
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + C (CMD + C for
Mac users).
Copy marked section: Select this to copy
any part(s) of the selected clip(s) that is located between the loop-begin and loop-end markers.
Paste: Select this to perform a standard “paste” operation. The contents of the clipboard will be pasted
after the current clip. If this option is performed a number of times, each new paste will be placed after
the one preceding it. In this way you can quickly lay down a sequence of copied clips.
The keyboard shortcut: CTRL + V (CMD + V for Mac users) performs in the same way, unless you click
somewhere else in the arrangement area before pasting. In this case, the new clip will be pasted at the
position where you clicked, rather than after the source clip. From that point, repeated pastes will land
sequentially after the initial paste, in the manner described above.
Paste after selected: Select this option to paste the contents of the clipboard at the end of the selected
clip. Unlike with the paste operation, repeated pastes will simply create a pile of stacked clips.
Paste (inserting at cursor position): Select this option to paste the contents of the clipboard at the
play-head cursor position. If the cursor is located over this, or another clip on this track, the clip will be
split to make room for the pasted material.
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + I (CMD + I for Mac users).
Delete: Select this to remove the clip from the edit.
Keyboard shortcut: DELETE or BACKSPACE.
Delete (+ delete source les): When this option is selected, the clip and its source material are both
deleted. You will be prompted for conrmation.
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + M (CMD + M for Mac users).
Bring obscured clips to front: If this clip is placed over another clip, you can use this option to bring
the hidden clip forward.
Keyboard shortcut: B.
Show clipboard contents: This option displays the contents of the clipboard in the quick nd panel.
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + ALT + C (CMD + CTRL + C for Mac users).
Clear clipboard: This option removes all items from the clipboard.
