AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER

About this chapter
This chapter describes how to edit audio clips after you have recorded them in the sequencer. General sequencer
functions, recording, note and automation editing, and arranging in the sequencer are described in detail in the chap-
ters “Sequencer Functions”, “Recording in the Sequencer”, “Note and Automation Editing” and “Arranging in the Se-
quencer”.
Clip Modes and Editing
After you have recorded your audio clips, you might want to adjust levels, trim starts and ends, add fades etc. If you
have recorded several takes in your audio clips, or several cycles in Loop Mode, you can also cut out segments of the
various takes and compile (comp) them into a final “perfect” audio clip.
You can also quantize audio clips, manually change the timing of individual notes or beats in the clips and even export
audio clips as REX files.
Inline editing vs. the Comp Editor (Edit Mode)
There are two main ways you can edit your audio clips:
• Inline, in the Arrange View.
Inline editing can be made on Single Take clips (see “Clip Modes” below). Single Take clips can be opened for ed-
iting in the Arrange View, similar to when editing parameter automation clips. Inline editing allows you to adjust the
positions (timing) of the automatically detected and distributed transient slice markers that appear in the audio
clip. The timing can be adjusted by moving and stretching (warping) the audio slices.
• In the Comp Editor (Edit Mode) to create compiled clips out of multiple recordings in the clip.
The Comp Editor is where you can cut out segments of several Takes (recordings) and compile into a final clip.
Here you can also insert silence segments to e.g. remove noise from silent parts in your audio clips.
Clip Modes
An audio clip can be either in Single Take Mode or Comp Mode:
• A clip in Single Take Mode is set to play back only a single Take (Comp Row) throughout the audio clip.
If you have recorded only once in an audio clip, or recorded several complete Takes, the clip is automatically set to
Single Take Mode.
• A Single Take clip which contains only one single Comp Row does not have any special visual indication:
A Single Take clip could also contain several Comp Rows, where one Comp Row has been manually selected for
playback.
• Single Take clips that contain more than one Comp Row are distinguished by two parallel lines in the lower
right corner:
You can create a Comp clip out of a Single Take clip by opening it in the Comp Editor/Edit Mode and adding Cuts,
see “Adding Cuts”.
