Adjusting the Recording Offset
In some situations you might want to move, or nudge, the recording on a Comp Row to make it play back exactly
when you want. Maybe you just need to fine tune the position by a couple of Ticks. Recording Offset adjustments can
be made both in Single Mode and in Comp Mode:
1. Click on the Comp Row to select it.
2. Either click and drag the recording horizontally, or adjust the position in the Recording Offset display in the In-
spector.
The Recording Offset display is divided into Bars, Beats, 1/16th notes, Ticks and Subticks. There are 240 Ticks
for each 1/16th note and 16 Subticks for each Tick.

Note that Snap doesn’t have to be activated for this to work.
D To nudge the recording in steps of Ticks, hold [Ctrl]+[Alt](Win) or [Cmd]+[Opt](Mac) and press the left/right ar-
row keys.
D To nudge the recording in steps of Beats, hold [Ctrl]+[Shift](Win) or [Cmd]+[Shift](Mac) and press the left/
right arrow keys.

tions (see “Speaker Tool”).

Delete Unused Recordings
After you have edited your audio clips, there might be unused recordings left on the Comp Row(s) that you don’t plan
on using. To reduce the file size of your song, you can choose to delete all unused recordings in one or several audio
clips.
D Select the clip(s) in the Clip Overview area in Edit Mode, or select the clip(s) in the Arrangement, and then se-
lect “Delete Unused Recordings” from the Edit menu or context menu.
All recordings that are not used in the clip(s) will be permanently deleted.
• If a clip is in Single Mode, only the top Comp Row will be played back - all other Comp Rows are per definition
"unused". However, there may still be Cuts and assigned Segments among these Comp Rows, visible and au-
dible if you switch the clip to Comp Mode.
As a safety measure, if you use the “Delete Unused Recordings” function on such a clip, you will be asked to con-
firm that you really want to remove all Comp Rows other than the topmost one.
• After deleting audio recordings, you need to use the "Save and Optimize" function on the File menu to mini-
mize the Song file size - see “Saving and optimizing a Song”.
The “Recording Offset” display shows the offset of the
recording on the selected Comp Row relative to the Clip
Position. If you move the recording on the selected Comp
Row back or forth, the Offset Display will update.
Similarly, if you resize the Clip by changing its start
position (left Clip Handle), the Offset Display will also
update. However, If you resize the clip using its right Clip
Handle, or move the entire clip, all recordings on all Comp
Rows will follow along and the Recording Offset will
remain unaffected.
