Figure 47-15: Using the Split at Counter command (Edit menu) to
split both a MIDI note and a soundbite at the same time.
TRIM
Trim allows you to select a portion of a soundbite
and remove the parts of it that are not selected. For
example, you might want to extract a single
measure from a soundbite that is 8 measures long.
It is also very useful for removing silence at the
beginning and/or end of a recorded soundbite.
Using Split and Trim
To split or trim a soundbite:
1 Select the region you wish to split or trim.
2 Choose Split or Trim from the Edit menu.
Data is split or trimmed as shown in Figure 47-16.
In the case of splitting, data is divided into three
separate parts. For a split soundbite, there is no
audible gap between the three parts at this point
(unless you move them).
3 To change the name of the resulting soundbites,
Option/Alt-click the name.
After split, soundbites and MIDI notes can be
dragged and edited independently.
