EDITING EVENTS CHP. 4
Splitting events
Splitting is a quick way to create independently functioning events from a single one. You might consider
splitting an event if you want to adjust a small part of the track. For example, you may want to apply pitch
shift to a guitar track for a few measures and then return the track to its original setting.
Splitting occurs at the cursor position or at the in and out points of a time selection. When you split an
event, ACID creates a new ending point for the original event and creates a starting point for the newly
created event.
When you split an event, the newly created events abut each other. If
Quick fade edges to prevent clicks is
selected in the Event Properties dialog, ACID adds fades at the split point. For more information, see Changing
event properties on page 68.
However, you may move either of the events, which creates a gap.
Splitting at the cursor position splits all selected events that the cursor crosses on all tracks.
1. Select the event(s) that you want to split.
2. Place the cursor where you want the split to occur or make a time selection.
3. From the Edit menu, choose Split or press . The result of the split depends on how events were selected.
