Basic audio editing
The Track view lets you perform basic editing tasks such as cut, copy, paste, delete, drag-and-drop,
split, and bounce. You can drag fade-ins and fade-outs onto a clip using your mouse or you can set
complex envelopes on both clips and tracks. You can use envelopes to change settings for gain
(volume), pan, mute, bus send level and bus send pan. The Scrub tool lets you audition portions of
audio by dragging the mouse.
Use the Select tool to make selections.
