OK, Slau covered this about 2 weeks ago, as I had the same question. Let me see if I can remember this. This is actually good, as it'll reenforce what he tought me. Let's see what I retained.
First off, you need to set your nudge value. To do this, use the numpad plus and minus keys. Plus will increase your nudge value, while minus will obviously decrease it. Another way you could do this, though not nearly as convenient is to go into the edit window. There should be a cluster in here you can interact with then set it manually. Again, that way probably isn't recommended though, as it's just easier to use your plus and minus keys on your numpad. I did however want to point out that this is another method, just so you'd know. Once your nudge value is correctly set, you need to make the bit of audio you wish to nudge into its own clip/region. This is the part where I got stuck before. If you don't do this part, it won't work. In your track list table, make sure that the tracks you want to be menipulating through this nudge are selected, first and foremost. Once done, move to the beginning of the audio that you need to nudge. Then, press command+E to split the region at that point. Now, move to the end point of the audio you need to nudge forward or backward. Then, do the same thing. Press command+E again to split the region. So, basically, in a nutshell, what you've done up to this point is you've split that area off into its own region, if that makes sense. The reason you did this twice is because you are isolating that area of audio into its own section, if you will. you had to make a boundery though. This is why the first command+E split at the beginning of the audio to be nudged. The second command+E split again at the end of the audio. The best way I could explain this is, think about having a sheet of paper with a line drawn horizontally all the way across the sheet of paper. Halfway across the paper, you have a small little circle. You're wanting to get that circle as a sheet of paper all by itself. So, how would you do that? Well? You'd have to cut with your scissors two times wouldn't you? Once right on the left side of the circle, and again once right on the right side of the circle. That's essentially what you're doing here. Think of the audio you're wanting to nudge as that little circle. So you have to split it on both sides. Anyway, after you do the command+E to split at the end of the audio, you now need to move to the previous region. The reason is because right now, you are positioned right at the end of the audio you want to nudge, most likely. therefore, you're out of bounds of that region we just isolated. So, next, press ctrl+Tab. This will move you to the previous region mark. Now, what I! like to do, just to be on the safe side is, I like to move just a tad into the actual region itself. This way I know that I'm located within the region, and that nothing willy milly is going to happen when I do this. So, I'd then press your numpad plus key one time. That's all it'll take. Just hit it one time. You just need to be sure that you're in the region. Now, select that current region. To do that, press shift+Tab. Now, hopefully, if you did this correctly, you should be able to hit the space bar to play, and only hear that bit of audio that you need nudged. If that didn't work, then go try again. Now that you have that region selected, you're ready to actually nudge. So, now, press your numpad plus to move it forward, or numpad minus to move it back. Keep going until you get it lined up where it needs to be. HTH. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016.
