The Sample Edit Window
The Selection Parameter Box: Please note that the
start point and length of the current selection are shown in
the selection parameter box at all times.
Editing Regions in the Sample Editor: If accuracy is
what you need, you should edit the start and end points of
regions in the Sample Edit window, not the Audio win-
dow.
The same goes for any adjustments you make to the an-
chor, which in many cases should really be placed on the
amplitude peaks, rather than at the start of the attack
phase of the sound. A good example would be recordings
of brass instruments, which may take some time to build
to a peak. By moving the anchor to these peaks, the region
will snap to the grid in your arrangement using the anchor
as the pivot point. The flexible zoom settings allow you to
be as precise as you like, going right down to the level of
single bits, at the highest magnification.
Be Careful! Any changes to the position of the Anchor
point will change the relative position of that audio region
in the song. Since the region start is the default position
for the anchor you must also take care when changing a
region’s start point.
The small markers on the lower edge of the waveform dis-
play allow you direct access to the boundaries of the region
and the anchor. As usual, you can just grab them, and
pull!
