Figure 38-29: Control/Win-dragging a selected soundbite a short
distance in either direction causes the soundbite to “snap” to the next
or previous soundbite.
Option/Alt-dragging to make a copy
To quickly make a copy of a soundbite while
dragging, Option/Alt-drag it. The new soundbite is
an exact clone of the original; in other words, they
both refer to the same original soundbite listed in
the Soundbites window. For example, if you
rename either copy, they will both change to the
new name.

Option/Alt-Control/Win-dragging to copy
soundbites & place them end to end
By holding down both the Option/Alt key and the
Control/Win key when dragging soundbites, you
can copy and place soundbites end-to-end at the
same time. This is a great shortcut for building
playlists made up of many repeating soundbites, as
shown in the example below.

place them end to end.
Creating a stutter effect
You can easily make a stutter effect by Option/Alt-
dragging a soundbite several times and
overlapping the copies. For rhythmic precision, it is
easiest to do so with edit resolution turned on and
set to a fairly small increment, such as 16th notes.
Figure 38-32: This 16th-note stutter effect was created by Option/Alt-
dragging copies of a soundbite with edit resolution turned on.
