The Sample Editor
• 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 Sample Editor
context menu or in the main Edit menu or by 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” (in the Range submenu of the
main Edit menu) will insert a silent section with the same
length as the current selection, at the selection 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 121).
Processing
The Processing features (in the Process submenu on the
Audio menu) can be applied to selections in the Sample
Editor. See the chapter “Audio processing and functions”
on page 117.
Creating a new event from the selection using drag&drop
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. Holding [Alt]/[Option], right-click to open the context
menu and select “Bounce Selection” from the Audio sub-
menu.
Provided that the “Popup Toolbox on Right Click” option in the Prefer-
ences dialog (Editing–Tools page) is activated, a right-click holding a
modifier key brings up the context menu.
A new clip is created and added to the Pool, and another
Sample Editor window opens with the new clip. This clip
refers to the same audio file as the original clip, but only
contains the audio corresponding to the selection range.
Drawing in the Sample Editor
It is possible to edit the audio clip at sample level by draw-
ing with the Pencil tool. This can be useful if you need to
manually edit out a spike or click, etc.
1. Zoom in to a zoom value lower than 1.
This means that there is more than one screen pixel per sample.
2. Select the Pencil tool.
3. Click and draw at the desired position in the waveform
display.
When you release the mouse button, the edited section is automatically
selected.
