By default, you can adjust Slices with your mouse as follows:
▪ Click inside a Slice (i.e. anywhere between its borders) to play it back on the Cue bus (see
section ↑13.2.6, Using the Cue Bus for more information).
▪ Drag the borders of a Slice to adjust them. You have two possibilities:
◦ If the end point of the previous Slice and the start point of the next Slice are joined,
drag the border’s vertical line to move both the end point of the previous Slice and the
start point of the next Slice together, so that both Slices stay joined.
◦ Drag the little “S” (or “E”) marker at the bottom of the vertical line to move the start
(or end) point of a Slice independently of the end (or start) point of the previous (or
next) Slice. If you want this border to stick again with that of the previous (or next)
Slice, drag the vertical line (instead of the “S”/“E” marker) toward that of the previ-
ous (or next) Slice.
By moving the start and end points of Slices independently, you can create overlapping Slices or
gaps between Slices.
These default mouse actions are valid only if the SLICE and REMOVE buttons are disabled in
the edit tools (5). Enabling any of them provides alternative mouse controls described below.
