The Sample Editor
1. Place the cursor at the desired position (intersecting
the event).
You may want to do this by scrubbing, to spot the right position exactly.
2. Right-click to open the Quick menu and select “Snap
Point To Cursor” from the Audio submenu.
The snap point will be set to the position of the cursor. This method can
also be used in the Project window and the Audio Part Editor.
• It is also possible to define a snap point for a clip (for
which there is no event yet).
To open a clip in the Sample Editor, double-click it in the Pool (or drag it
from the Pool to the Sample Editor). After having set the snap point using
the procedure described above, you can insert the clip into the project
from the Pool or the Sample Editor, taking the snap point position into
account.
Making selections
To select an audio section in the Sample Editor, you click
and drag with the Range Selection tool.
• If Snap to Zero Crossing is activated on the toolbar, the
start and end of the selection will always be at zero cross-
ings (see “Snap to Zero Crossing” on page 246).
• You can resize the selection by dragging its left and
right edge or by [Shift]-clicking.
• The current selection is indicated in the corresponding
fields in the Range tab of the Sample Editor Inspector.
You can fine-tune the selection by changing these values numerically.
Note that the values are relative to the start of the clip, rather than to the
project timeline.
Using the Select menu
In the Select menu in the Range tab and in the Select sub-
menu of the Edit menu you can find the following options:
!
When you set the Grid Start in the Definition tab, the
snap point will be moved to the Grid Start (see “Ma-
nually adjusting grid and tempo of your audio” on
page 250).
