Audio Events
Audio events are created automatically when you record or import audio in the Project window.
You can view and edit audio events in the Project window and in the Sample Editor.
An audio event triggers the playback of the corresponding audio clip. By adjusting the Offset
and the Length values of the event, you can determine which section of the audio clip is played
back. The audio clip itself remains unchanged.
