Trimming Regions

You trim a region by shortening either the beginning or end of the region.

To trim the start or end point:

1

Move the pointer over the left or right edge of the region.

The pointer changes to a trim pointer.

2

Drag the edge of the region. You can drag the start point to the right, or drag the end
point to the left.

As you drag, the region is trimmed, and all subsequent regions move to the left.

Splitting Regions

You can split a region into two regions. This is useful if you want to remove part of a
region, or move part of the region to another point in time.

To split a region:

1

Click the Split (scissors) button.

2

In the Wave View area, click the region at the point where you want to split it.

The region is split, and the part of the region after the split now appears in the other
half (upper or lower) of the Wave View area from the part before the split.

Adjusting Levels

In the Wave View area, a horizontal line, called the region’s envelope, appears overlaid
over each region. The envelope shows the volume level (also called gain) for the region.
You can adjust the region’s volume level by moving the envelope.

To adjust the level of a region:

1

Move the pointer over the region you want to adjust.

The pointer changes to a vertical line with arrows pointing up and down.

2

Drag the envelope up or down to a new value.

Checking a Region for Clipping

You can check individual regions for clipping.

To check a region for clipping:

1

Select the region, in either the Wave View area or the Region list.

2

Choose Region > Check Region for Clipping.

If a region clips, you can find where clipping occurs by observing the Level Meter as
the region plays. Clipping can occur either because the levels are too high in the region
itself or because the envelope is set too high. If there are plug-ins added to the region,
the plug-ins may be causing the clipping.
