TRIM OUT
Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu
TRIM OUT allows you to adjust the location at which a selected phrase
ends without changing the timing of its audio content.
Why You’d Use Phrase TRIM OUT
Use TRIM OUT to remove unwanted audio from the end of a phrase. You can also use
TRIM OUT to get rid of unwanted studio noise and conversation after the audio you
want to keep. Use TRIM OUT to clean up the ends of your mastering tracks (Page 346).
Edit Points
• TO —sets the desired end of the phrase. Any part of the phrase that occurs after the
TO point is trimmed from the phrase.
DELETE
Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu
Use the phrase DELETE command to remove a phrase from a project.
Why You’d Use Phrase DELETE
Phrase DELETE allows you to get rid of unwanted phrases so you don’t have to bother
silencing them when you mix, and so they don’t clutter up your playlist.
SPLIT
Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu
You can split a currently selected phrase into two phrases using the
phrase SPLIT command.
Why You’d Use Phrase SPLIT
Phrase SPLIT lets you break up longer phrases into two separate pieces to turn musical
ideas, sound effects or anything else into individual objects. This makes it easier to
move each element, copy it, or subject it to any other editing operation.
You can use TRIM OUT when you need to trim a rhythm pattern to exactly the right
length to help ensure that it loops properly.
Remember: When you delete a phrase from a project, you’re not erasing
its audio from your hard drive unless you optimize the project
(Page 100). If you haven’t optimized the project, you can get the audio
back at any time using Undo or by creating a new phrase (Page 259)
from the take on which the phrase was based.
If you plan to be moving a lot of audio around in a project, taking the time to split your
elements into separate phrases can make editing much easier in the long run. DIVIDE
can break up a long phrase into multiple components automatically—see Page 260.
