5–3J: Audio Event Edit
This command lets you perform event editing of audio events (events in the
audio tracks), and trim the sound used by an audio event (i.e., adjust the loca-
tion or the area where the sound will be heard, in steps of one sample).
If you wish to modify the sound name after recording, you can do so in the Trim
dialog box.
1In the tab 3 page, select the track that contains the audio event you wish to
edit, and specify the Start Measure.
2When you choose Audio Event Edit, the following dialog box (Audio Event
Edit) will appear.
a: To select the audio event that you wish to edit, select an index, use the
scroll bar, or directly press the desired event.
At this time, you can press the Audition Start/Stop button once to play-
back the event, allowing you to hear the contents. During playback, press
the button once again to stop.
b: You can move the event by modifying the measure or location values.
When moving an event in this way by modifying its location values, you
are not limited to movement within the current measure (unlike Event
Edit for a MIDI track).
c: Adjust the volume for each audio event. The value will be 127 immedi-
ately after recording.
3Press the appropriate button to perform the desired operations explained
below: “Trim audio event,” “Insert audio event,” “Delete audio event,”
“Copy audio event,” or “Audition start/stop.”
When you are finished with event editing, press the Done button to return to
the tab page.
A: Trim button
Trimming an audio event
The Trim operation lets you specify in units of a sample the portion of a
recorded sound that will be played back, allowing you to adjust the timing of
the sound or to remove unwanted space.
Since the trim source sound is kept unchanged from its original recorded state,
you can later restore the sound to its original condition even if you shorten it
excessively by mistake. Executing the Trim operation simply changes the loca-
tion where the sound begins to playback, and the location of the sound event
