Drawing Waveforms with the Pencil

The pencil tool allows you to correct clicks and pops or clipping, by manually drawing

in the waveform. The edges of drawn-in waveform sections will be automatically

smoothed.

As long as the mouse button is held down, the drawn waveform can be replaced by

the original—by moving the mouse back.

When Option is pressed, drawn-in changes will affect both stereo channels.

Editing Commands

The Sample Edit window features the usual Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, and Undo commands

in the Edit menu (or from the keyboard).

All of these commands (except Copy) actually change the data of the audio file itself; in

other words, they behave destructively.

Cut

Cuts a selected passage out of an audio file, and copies it to the Clipboard. All following

audio sections move forward to fill the gap.

Copy

Copies a selected passage to the Clipboard, leaving the selected area in its original

location.

Paste

Inserts the contents of the Clipboard at the cursor position, or start point of the

selection. If there is no selection available, the cursor acts as the paste point (it is

shown as a thin dotted line). If audio data is present behind the paste point, it is moved

back to make room for the Clipboard contents. If anything is selected at the time of the

paste, it is deleted and replaced by the Clipboard contents.

Clear

Erases the selection, without placing it in the Clipboard. All data beyond the deleted

passage is pulled forward to fill the gap.

Undo

Cancels any edit command used, and reverses its effect. This also works with the

destructive editing commands (see “Functions” on page 398).

The Undo function in the Sample Editor operates separately from the rest of the

program (see next section). This allows you to try out the edit in the Arrangement. If

you don’t like it, you can return to the Sample Editor, and reverse the edit with the

Undo function.
