Comping audio
In this section we will describe procedures that are specific to audio editing in Comp clips. At the end of this section
is a detailed example on how to use the various procedures to create a complete comped audio clip - see “Creating
a comped audio clip”. General audio editing procedures are described in “Editing audio in the Comp Editor”.
Adding Cuts
! If the clip is in Single Take mode, because a Single Take Mode button is depressed, you will have to click that
Single Take Mode button to deselect the Comp Row before you can start adding Cuts!
! If the clip only contains one single (not manually selected) Comp Row, and thus is a Single Take clip, adding a
Cut on the Silence Row will automatically turn the clip into a Comp clip.
D Place the Razor Tool on the Comp Row which contains the recording you want to assign, and click.
A new Cut Handle is added on the Cut Row. The recording to the right of the Cut Line on the Comp Row is as-
signed to a new Segment:
Assigning the recording on the “Take4” Comp Row to a new Segment.
D Click with the Razor Tool on the Silence Row to assign silence to a new Segment to the right of the cursor.
D Click with the Razor Tool on the Cut Row to create a new Cut without changing the currently assigned record-
ing.
A new Cut Handle is added on the Cut Row. The previous recording assignment is retained throughout the new
segment.
• If you hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Option](Mac) and click with the Razor tool on a Comp Row, this will first create
a duplicate of the Comp Row. Then, the duplicated Comp Row will be assigned to the new Segment.
You can then adjust the timing (Recording Offset) or level of the duplicated Comp Row as needed, without affect-
ing any segments playing the original Comp Row.
! Note that Snap is taken into account (if activated).
q A quick way to toggle Snap on or off is to press [S].
q For a practical example on how to add Cuts, see “Creating a comped audio clip”.
q It’s also possible to assign a complete Segment, with a start and end Cut, by swiping with the Cut Tool on the
Comp Rows - see “Adding Segments”.
