The Sample Editor
Ö If you activate the “Please, don’t ask again” option in
the dialog, any further editing 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 dialog (Editing–
Audio page).
Cut, Copy, and Paste
The Cut, Copy, and Paste commands (on the Edit menu in
the Sample Editor context menu or on 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.
• Selecting Paste copies the data from the clipboard into
the clip.
If there is a selection in the editor, this is replaced by the pasted data. If
there is no selection, the pasted data is inserted starting at the project
cursor. The section to the right of the line is moved to make room for the
pasted material.
Delete
Selecting Delete (on the Edit menu in the Sample Editor
context menu or on the main Edit menu) removes the se-
lection from the clip. The section to the right of the selec-
tion is moved to the left to fill the gap.
Insert Silence
Selecting “Insert Silence” (on the Range submenu of the
main Edit menu) inserts a silent section with the same
length as the current selection, at the selection start.
• The selection is not 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 170).
Processing
The Processing features (on the Process submenu of the
Audio menu) can be applied to selections in the Sample
Editor. For more information, see the chapter
“Audio pro-
cessing and functions” on page 165.
Creating a new event from the selection using
drag & drop
To create a new event that plays only the selected range,
proceed as follows:
1. Make a selection range.
2. Drag the selection range to an audio track in the Proj-
ect window.
Creating a new clip or audio file from the selection
To extract a selection from an event and either create a
new clip or a new audio file, proceed as follows:
1. Make a selection range.
2. Open the context menu and select “Bounce Selec-
tion” from the Audio submenu.
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 con
-
tains the audio corresponding to the selection range only.
Working with regions
Regions are sections within a clip. One of the main uses
for regions is Cycle recording, in which the different
“takes” are stored as regions (see
“Recording audio” on
page 80). You can also use this feature for marking impor-
tant sections in the audio clip. Regions can be dragged
into the Project window from the Sample Editor or the
Pool to create new audio events.
Regions are best created, edited, and managed in the
Sample Editor.
Creating and removing regions
1. Select the range that you want to convert into a region.
2. Click the “Set up Window Layout” button and activate
the Regions option.
The regions list is displayed on the right.
