AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER

Comp clips in the Comp Editor
A Comp clip consists of several Comp Rows, with one recording on each Comp Row. If you have recorded several
takes in an audio clip and want to cut out sections of the various takes and comp into a final clip, this can be done in
the Comp Editor (see “Creating a comped audio clip”). This is how an already comped audio clip could look like in
Comp Edit mode:
A Comp clip open in the Comp Editor.
From the top down in the preceding picture, the Edit Pane contains the following elements:
• Bounce button
Clicking this button will bounce the recordings of the comped clip to a new recording, automatically select the
bounced recording’s Comp Row - and thus set the clip type to Single Take. The same thing happens automatically
if you click the Slice Edit or Pitch Edit buttons in the Toolbar.
•Cut Row
The area between the Clip Overview and the topmost Comp Row is called the Cut Row. This is where the Cut Han-
dles are placed.
• Segment Focus Indicator
The gray Segment Focus Indicator appears if you click on the Cut Row, or if you double-click on a Comp Row. A
Segment is the area between two Cuts. The Segment Focus Indicator shows which segment currently has edit fo-
cus. Edit focus is required for editing using keyboard short-cuts (see the “Keyboard Commands” pdf document).
• Cut Crossfade Zones
When you have comped an audio clip by creating cuts and assigning different Comp Rows to the resulting seg-
ments, it’s possible to set individual crossfades between the segments. This makes it possible to get smooth tran-
sitions between the audio recordings in the different segments. Any crossfades are indicated by boxes. The widths
of the boxes indicate the crossfade times.
