The Sample Editor
Editing selection ranges
Selections in the Sample Editor can be processed in sev-
eral ways. Please note:
• If you attempt to edit an event that is a shared copy (i.e.
the event refers to a clip that is used by other events in the
project), you are asked whether you want to create a new
version of the clip or not (if you haven’t made a “perma-
nent” choice already – see below).
Select “New Version” if you want the editing to affect the selected event
only. Select “Continue” if you want the editing to affect all shared copies.
Note: If you activate the option “Do not show this message again” in the
dialog, any further editing you do will conform to the selected method
(“Continue” or “New Version”). You can change this setting at any time
with the “On Processing Shared Clips” pop-up menu in the Preferences
(Editing–Audio page).
• Any changes to the clip will appear in the Offline Process
History, making it possible to undo them at a later point (see
“The Offline Process History dialog” on page 227).
Cut, Copy and Paste
The Cut, Copy and Paste commands (on the Edit menu in
the Process tab of the Sample Editor Inspector or in the
main Edit menu) work according to the following rules:
• Selecting Copy copies the selection to the clipboard.
• Selecting Cut removes the selection from the clip and
moves it to the clipboard.
The section to the right of the selection is moved to the left to fill out the
gap.
• Selecting Paste copies the data on the clipboard into
the clip.
If there is a selection in the editor, this will be replaced by the pasted
data. If there is no selection, the pasted data will be inserted starting at
the selection line. The section to the right of the line will be moved to
make room for the pasted material.
The pasted data will be inserted at the selection line.
Delete
Selecting Delete (on the Edit menu in the Process tab of
the Sample Editor Inspector or in the main Edit menu or
pressing [Backspace]) removes the selection from the
clip. The section to the right of the selection is moved to
the left to fill out the gap.
Insert Silence
Selecting “Insert Silence” (on the Edit menu in the Pro-
cess tab of the Sample Editor Inspector or in the Range
submenu of the main Edit menu) will insert a silent section
with the same length as the current selection, at the selec-
tion start.
• The selection will not be replaced, but moved to the
right to make room.
If you want to replace the selection, use the “Silence” function instead
(see “Silence” on page 224).
Processing
Processing (on the Select Process menu in the Process
tab of the Sample Editor Inspector or in the Process sub-
menu on the Audio menu) can be applied to selections in
the Sample Editor, as can the effects (on the Select Plug-
in menu in the Process tab of the Sample Editor Inspector
or in the Plug-ins submenu on the Audio menu). See the
chapter “Audio processing and functions” on page 216.
Creating a new event from the selection
You can create a new event that plays only the selected
range, using the following method:
1. Make a selection range.
2. Press [Ctrl]/[Command] and drag the selection range
to the desired audio track in the Project window.
Creating a new clip or audio file from the selection
You can extract a selection from an event and either cre-
ate a new clip or a new audio file, in the following way:
1. Make a selection range.
2. Right-click to open the Quick menu and select
“Bounce Selection” from the Audio submenu.
