Adding Segments
The Razor Tool can be used for assigning a complete Segment, with a start and end Cut, by clicking and dragging
(swiping) the Razor Tool horizontally on the desired Comp Row.
D Swipe (click-hold and drag) with the Razor Tool to assign a part of a Comp Row to a new segment.
D To insert a new Segment in an existing Segment, swipe with the Razor Tool on a Comp Row or on the Cut Row.
Swiping on a Comp Row will automatically assign the recording on that Comp Row to the new segment. Swiping
on the Cut Row will insert a new segment but won’t change the recording assignment. The result after inserting a
new segment in an existing segment is three separate segments. Swiping over an existing Cut will remove that
Cut.
• If you hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Option](Mac) and click or swipe with the Razor tool on a Comp Row, this will
first create a duplicate of the Comp Row. Then, this duplicated Comp Row will be assigned to the new Seg-
ment.
You can then adjust the timing (Recording Offset) or level of the duplicated Comp Row as needed, without affect-
ing any segments playing the original Comp Row. See “Moving a snare hit” for a practical example.
! Note that Snap is taken into account (if activated).
q A quick way to toggle Snap on or off is to press [S].
q For a practical example on how to add a Segment, see “Creating a comped audio clip”.
Adding Crossfades to Cuts
To add a crossfade zone to a Cut (between two Segments), proceed as follows:
D Select a Cut Handle and then drag the Cut Crossfade Handle to the right.
The crossfade slopes are indicated by curves on the assigned Segments. The longer the crossfade time, the flatter
the curves.
D To remove a crossfade, simply drag the Cut Crossfade Handle all the way to the left.
Place the Razor Tool on the desired start position on a
Comp Row and swipe...
...and release where you want the segment to
end
Click and drag the Cut Crossfade Handle...
...to introduce a crossfade between the segments
