7.3.6 Editing Tools
In the upper right corner, you will see four editing-tool buttons. These
tools will determine the function of your mouse during editing.
Power User Tip: The audio-editing process can be unforgiving. Small inaccuracies when
splitting, moving, or performing other actions on recorded audio can lead to unwanted
results. As simple as it may seem, the act of listening while editing is often overlooked. For
instance, when sizing the edges of a vocal part to remove unwanted sounds between
words, it is tempting to make the edits based on the visual representation of the
waveform. While this may work sometimes, it is much better to listen as you size the
events to be sure you are not removing any critical part of the vocals. Listening to your
edits as you make them will save time and frustration in nearly every case.

This is the default tool for access to most functions. Click on the Arrow tool button or
press [number 1] on the keyboard to select the Arrow tool.

Move an Event.
To move an audio event using the Arrow tool, click anywhere on the event and
drag left, right, up, or down. Dragging the event left or right will move the event
backward or forward in time. When dragging an event left or right beyond the
viewable arrangement, hold [Space Bar] on the keyboard to speed up the scrolling.
