Tutorial 2: Editing audio
5. Next, right click again and choose “Automation Mode”
so that the automation tools are hidden from view.
Now we can see enough for us to continue on with the Split tool.
6. With most of the snap features in view, choose “Grid”
from the Snap mode pop-up menu to the right of the Snap
button.
This means we’ll be snapping to a grid.
7. Next choose “Bar” as the “Grid Type”.
This means you will split to bars.
8. You can now split the “Elec Guitar_01” event pre-
cisely to the bar. Cut on bars 6, 10 and 14.
Splitting with [Alt]/[Option]
1. Choose the Split tool.
2. Hold down [Alt]/[Option] and click on the bass event
at bar 3 and the length of the split will be repeated until
the end of the event.
You can try this with “Snap” on or off.
3. Select “Undo Split” from the Edit menu and return the
bass to the way it was.
Gluing or joining events
Using the Glue tool allows you to join events together that
have been cut using the Split tool.
1. Choose the Glue tool.
2. Glue together the split events in the “Elec Guitar”
track by clicking just before each split.
Let’s make sure we glue all of them.
