The Sample 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. After hav-
ing set the snap point using the procedure described above, you can in-
sert 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” on page 132).
• You can resize the selection by dragging its left and
right edge or by [Shift]-clicking.
Using the Select menu
In the Select submenu of the Edit menu you can find the
following options:
Editing selection ranges
Selections in the Sample Editor can be processed in sev-
eral ways. Please note the following:
• 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.
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).
Cut, Copy and Paste
The Cut, Copy and Paste commands (on the Edit menu in
the Sample Editor context menu 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 the gap.
!
Events and clips can have different snap points. If
you open a clip from the Pool you can edit the clip
snap point. If you open a clip from within the project
window, you can edit the event snap point. The clip
snap serves as a template for the event snap point
and does not affect snapping.
Function Description
All Selects the whole clip.
None Selects no audio (the selection length is set to “0”).
In Loop Selects all audio between the left and right locator.
Select Event Selects the audio that is included in the edited event
