AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER
187
From the top down in the preceding picture, the Edit Pane contains the following elements:
•Cut Row
The area between the Clip Overview and the topmost Comp Row is called the Cut Row. This is where the Cut Han-
dles are placed.
• Segment Focus Indicator
The gray Segment Focus Indicator appears if you click on the Cut Row, or if you double-click on a Comp Row. A
Segment is the area between two Cuts. The Segment Focus Indicator shows which segment currently has edit fo-
cus. Edit focus is required for editing using keyboard short-cuts (see the “Keyboard Commands” pdf document).
• Cut Crossfade Zones
When you have comped an audio clip by creating cuts and assigning different Comp Rows to the resulting seg-
ments, it’s possible to set individual crossfades between the segments. This makes it possible to get smooth tran-
sitions between the audio recordings in the different segments. Any crossfades are indicated by boxes. The widths
of the boxes indicate the crossfade times.
• Cut Handles and Cut Lines
Each cut in a comped audio clip is indicated by a Cut Handle and a Cut Line. The Cuts indicate where the playback
changes from one segment to another (in most situations from one Comp Row to another). You can edit the Cut
positions by clicking and dragging any of the Cut Handles or Cut Lines sideways.
• Silence Row
In Comp Mode, the Silence Row becomes available. The Silence Row can be used for inserting silent segments in
the comped audio clip, e.g. removing breath noise between vocal phrases.
•Comp Rows
All of your audio recordings reside in Comp Rows. Depending on how you recorded the audio clip, there might be
one or several Comp Rows, each containing one audio recording. The most recent take is on the topmost Comp
Row. In Comp Mode, the colored part(s) of each Comp Row (or Silence Row) will play back. All Comp Rows used
in the clip have colored Comp Row Handles. Any unused Comp Rows in the clip are indicated by gray Comp Row
Handles.
