Chapter 4 Audio in the Arrange Window 181

This command is also available as a key command: Set Region(s) to original Recording

Position.

Inserting at the Record Position

You can also copy (default: Command-C) or cut (Command-X) a Region to the

Clipboard, and then use Edit > Paste at Original Position to insert it into the selected

track, at the original record position.

Changing Start and End Points

You can shorten or lengthen any Region by grabbing it’s lower right hand corner with

the mouse and dragging it—if track based automation is displayed, grab the corners

above the automation layer. You cannot make a Region longer than its original audio

file. This means that all other Regions derived from this Region will be lengthened by

the same amount (cloned regions—see the “Copying Regions” section on page 179).

Of course, the same goes for any changes you make to the startpoint of a Region. Such

changes can be made by grabbing, and dragging, the lower left edge of the Region.

You can edit a Region’s start and endpoints far more accurately with the Sample Editor,

which can be opened by double-clicking on the Region. Simply slide the “S” and “E”

markers to change the Start and End points of the region. While moving the Start

point, use the Option-key, to ensure that the Anchor (and therefore the timing of the

audio, relative to the rest of the arrangement), remains unchanged. The Anchor must

be positioned inside the Region.

If you wish to move the start point to the right, first move it to the approximate target

position while in the Arrange window. Then open the Sample Editor, and use the

Option-key to precisely move the start point to the desired location.

Setting Region Starts and Ends to fit Song Position

You can move the start or end point of a selected Region to the current location of the

Song Position Line, by use of the following key commands:

• Set Object Start to SPL Position

• Set Object End to SPL Position.

The use of Set Object Start to SPL Position is only possible when the Song Position Line

(SPL) is placed before the Region startpoint. Similarly, Set Object End to SPL Position only

makes sense if the SPL is placed after the Region endpoint. If this is not the case, the

length of the Region will be shortened to one format (denominator) value.

Note: Unlike the Pickup Clock command, audio data is not moved when using Set

Object Start to SPL Position on an Audio Region.
