the Cycle button. If you turn this on, the currently selected
section of audio will cycle continually when sample edit
window playback is engaged.
Please note that you can change the start and end points of
the selected area, while monitoring it in cycle playback
mode. In this way, you could edit the start and end points
of (say) a drum loop until it loops perfectly.
Choosing the Audio Output: The small box under the
loudspeaker symbol allows you to choose the output chan-
nel to be used for monitoring. If you’re editing a stereo
file, the right channel will be sent to the next-highest avail-
able output channel.
Set the number of the output you want to use in the Cha
box under the loudspeaker symbol.
Make sure that the pan positions of both channels are set
as widely as possible.
Automatic Scrolling
You use the scroll strip on the bottom and right edges of
the Sample Edit window to scroll through the detailed
waveform display in the usual way.
Making Selections
Selecting the Whole Audio File: You can select the
entire audio file with the function Edit > Select > Select All
(ctrl a).
Manual Selection: To select a particular section of an
audio file, click on the start or end of the area you want to
select, hold down the mouse button, and move the mouse
to the right or left.
To change the boundaries of a selection: By click-
ing on a selection while holding down shift, you can
change its existing start and end points at any time.
Whether you change the start point or end point by doing
this, is determined entirely by whether the point you
clicked on was nearer to the start or end of the selection.
The closest one wins…
Changing the Further Selection Limit: If you hold down ctrl
shift the further selection boundary is changed (rather
than the nearer).
Moving a Selection: If you hold down ctrl, you can shift
the whole selection without changing its length.
