Adjusting the Recording Offset
In some situations you might want to move, or nudge, the entire recording on a Comp Row to make it play back ex-
actly when you want. Maybe you just need to fine tune the position by a couple of Ticks:
1. Click on the Comp Row to select it.
2. Either click and drag the recording horizontally, or adjust the position in the Recording Offset display in the In-
spector.
The Recording Offset display is divided into Bars, Beats, 1/16th notes, Ticks and Subticks. There are 240 Ticks
for each 1/16th note and 16 Subticks for each Tick.
Adjusting the offset (position) of a recording on a Comp Row
You can also nudge the Recording Offset of the selected recording by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
D To nudge the recording in Snap value steps, hold [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and press the left/right arrow keys.
Note that Snap doesn’t have to be activated for this to work.
D To nudge the recording in steps of Ticks, hold [Ctrl]+[Alt](Win) or [Cmd]+[Opt](Mac) and press the left/right ar-
row keys.
D To nudge the recording in steps of Beats, hold [Ctrl]+[Shift](Win) or [Cmd]+[Shift](Mac) and press the left/
right arrow keys.
q To make it easier to find the exact positions in the recording, you can audition the recording at desired posi-
tions (see “Speaker Tool”).
Delete Unused Recordings
After you have edited your audio clips in the Comp Editor, there might be unused recordings left on Comp Rows that
you don’t plan to use. To reduce the file size of your song, you can choose to delete all unused recordings in one or
several audio clips.
D Select the clip(s) in the Clip Overview area in the Comp Editor, or select the clip(s) in the Arrange View, and
then select “Delete Unused Recordings” from the Edit menu or context menu.
All recordings that are not used in the clip(s) will be permanently deleted.
• If a clip is in Single Take Mode, only the selected Comp Row will be played back - all other Comp Rows are per
definition “unused”. However, there may still be Cuts and assigned Segments among these Comp Rows, visi-
ble and audible if you switch the clip to Comp Mode.
As a safety measure, if you use the “Delete Unused Recordings” function on such a clip, you will be asked to con-
firm that you really want to remove all Comp Rows other than the selected one.
• After deleting audio recordings, you will have to use the “Save and Optimize” function on the File menu to
minimize the Song file size - see “Saving and optimizing a Song”.
The “Recording Offset” display shows the offset of the
recording on the selected Comp Row relative to the Clip
Position.
If you move the recording on the selected Comp Row back
or forth, the Offset Display will update. Similarly, if you resize
the Clip by changing its start position (left Clip Handle), the
Offset Display will also update.
However, If you resize the clip using its right Clip Handle, or
move the entire clip, all recordings on all Comp Rows will
follow along and the Recording Offset will remain
unaffected.
