Resize regions in the Tracks area
You can shorten both audio and MIDI regions so that only part of the region plays. You can
lengthen MIDI regions to add silence to the beginning or end of the region. In addition, you can
resize the common edge of two adjacent regions to control the transition between them.
You can also move and resize regions numerically by opening an Event Float window. For more
information, see
Event Float window .
