CHP. 4 EDITING EVENTS

Cutting events

Cutting an event, a time selection, or an event within a time selection removes the audio data from the

the project an unlimited number of times. Clipboard content remains on the clipboard until it is replaced by

new data.

Select the event data you want to cut or make a time selection. For more information, see Making selections

on page 42.

Cut the event data using any of the following methods:

• Click the

Cut button ( ) on the toolbar.

All selected events are removed from the track view and placed on the clipboard.

Deleting events

Deleting an event, a time selection, or an event within a time selection removes the data from the track

view and discards it. Deleted events are not placed on the clipboard and do not replace or interfere with

current clipboard content. In addition, deleted events cannot be pasted back into a project.
