AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER

Editing audio in the Comp Editor
In this section we will describe audio editing procedures that are common for Single Take clips and Comp clips when
edited in the Comp Editor. Comp clip specific procedures are described in “Comping audio”.
Audio clip elements in the Comp Editor
When an audio clip is open for editing in Comp Edit mode, its contents are shown on the Edit Pane below the Clip
Overview area. An open audio clip can have one or several Comp Rows on which the audio recordings reside. The
number of Comp Rows depends on how you recorded your audio clip. If you only recorded once in the clip, there will
only be one single Comp Row. If you have recorded several times in the same clip, or several cycles in Loop Mode,
there will be one Comp Row for each take, or cycle.
There are vertical zoom controls for resizing the Clip Overview area and the Comp Row area. You can also scroll in
the Comp Row area by using the scroll bars on the right hand side of the Edit Pane.
Single Take clips in the Comp Editor
For Single Take clips, only the recording on the selected Comp Row is played back. If there is only one single Take
(Comp Row) in the clip, this will play back by default. This is how an open Single Take clip with only one recording on
one Comp Row could look like when opened in Comp Edit mode:

• Clip Overview
The Clip Overview area at the top shows the clips on the selected audio track. In the Clip Overview area, selected
audio clips are displayed in the same fashion as in the Arrange View, i.e. with Clip Resize handles, Level handle and
Fade handles. You can select one or several audio clips in the Clip Overview and perform clip-based editing (e.g.
moving and resizing) - just like in the Arrange View.
• Clip Resize handles
By clicking and dragging either of the handles, you can change the position and length of the clip.
