[. . . ] Note: The track start marker behavior outlined above only works when you have not manually edited the track start marker (See "Automatic Positioning of Track Start Markers" on page 47. ) 32 Chapter 3 Working With Regions Trimming Regions You can trim (shorten) a region by adjusting either (or both) the start and end points. To trim the start or end point: 1 Move the pointer over the left or right edge of the region. The pointer changes to the Resize 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. Note: As you drag, the region is trimmed, and all subsequent regions are moved--in order to retain their relative positions. Pressing Option while dragging allows you to trim a region without moving adjacent regions. Important: Please note that the audio material's absolute position is shifted when you trim the start point of a region. Changing the end point of a region doesn't affect its absolute position. Only the absolute position of the end point is changed. Splicing Regions You can splice a region into two regions. This is useful if you want to remove a portion of a region, or move part of the region to another location within the project. To splice a region: 1 Click the Splice (scissors) button. Tip: You can also press Control to temporarily switch the editing mode. 2 Click on the desired region splice position in the Wave View area. The region is split in two, and the portion of the region that follows the splice point appears in the opposite half (upper or lower) of the Wave View area. By default, a track marker is created at the beginning of the new region. You can press Option when cutting a region to prevent the insertion of the track marker. Chapter 3 Working With Regions 33 Adjusting Levels A horizontal line--known as the region's level envelope--is overlaid on top of each region in the Wave View area. The line shows the volume level for the region. You can adjust the region's volume level by moving it up or down. To adjust the level of a region: 1 Move the pointer over the horizontal level envelope that 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. Note: Pressing Option while dragging allows you to manipulate the level independently for each stereo side. Checking a Region for Clipping You can check regions for clipping. To check regions for clipping: 1 Select the regions in either the Wave View area or the Region list. 2 Choose Region > Check Region for Clipping. After completing the process, a detailed log displays the results of the clipping analysis. 34 Chapter 3 Working With Regions Normalizing Regions Typically, you want the volume level of your audio regions to be as high as possible, without causing clipping.
