Re: Questions about Clips
HI Slau, Thanks so much for answering my questions! This is awesome! I have a few more questions. You wrote: import the clip to a new audio track , cut the clip and paste it into the desired spot on the track you're working on. Question: How do you import a clip to a new track? You wrote: If you make a selection in the master Vocal playlist, you can audition the various takes and the transport will just play the selected area. When you find the take that sounds best, copy, then move to the master playlist and paste. Question: How do you audition the various takes? This is how I do it, but I'm not sure if this is what you mean. I click the play list button, choose a different playlist, and then play. Also, how do you mark a playlist as main? It says if I press option,control,v, it copies selection to main Playlist. It seems like I could save time by just making a selection and press that shortcut instead of click playlist button, choose the playlist that I want to paste to, and then paste. You wrote: I do use nudge mode to essentially accomplish the same thing providing I'm moving by bars and beats. Question: How do you do that with nudge? Let's say if you split a clip at a start of a phrase which happens to be on 5.1.270, and you want to move that phrase to the beginning of the bar 5.1.0. If you just select and nudge that clip to the left, and your nudge value is one beat, wouldn't it move it to 4.4.270? Thank you again.

Auditioning clips from the regions list is done by Option-clicking on the clip in the list. You'd have to route the mouse pointer to the file name and perform a physical mouse or track pad click while holding down the Option key. VoiceOver does not currently support modified clicks of this type so it has to be done with the mouse or track pad. 2. How can I move an unused clip to a track? Let's say I have 4 bars recorded, but I want to bring bar 2 and 3 from previously recorded clip. This is done visually by dragging the clip from the regions list into a track. For obvious reasons, this is quite challenging to a VoiceOver user. It used to be possible to do this relatively easily with the old outSPOKEN screen reader. You can still attempt this with a track pad but I can't guarantee success. If you hide all tracks except for the track to which you'd like to drag the clip and set its display to jumbo or extreme, you can route the mouse pointer to the clip, click and drag the clip to the center of the track pad and let go. You'll need to pay attention to whether you have any regions in the track already because you may inadvertently drop a clip right on top of another. If you include a modifier before the mouse down, you can get different results like snapping to the insertion point or activating the spot dialog where you can specify the location where the clip should go. The alternative is to import the clip to a new audio track , cut the clip and paste it into the desired spot on the track you're working on. I should also point out that, if you're dealing with clips from various takes, it's best to create playlists for each take so that each take is easily accessible. Using the name of the track as the basic playlist works best. For example, create a track named Vocal and duplicate it. The resulting track name, and therefore playlist, becomes Vocal01. As you record onto this track, the filenames will start with Vocal.01-01, Vocal.01-02, Vocal.01_03, etc. This is all vocal take one. When you're ready for take two, create a new playlist and the track name will automatically be Vocal.02 and the filenames will all be .02_01, .02_02, .02_03, etc. In the end, copy the best take into the original playlist named Vocal and then use bits of whichever take is best for any given line, phrase, word, etc. If you make a selection in the master Vocal playlist, you can audition the various takes and the transport will just play the selected area. When you find the take that sounds best, copy, then move to the master playlist and paste. 3. Also, is there a shortcut to nudge a selected clip to a closest grid without cutting and pasting? I never use Grid mode so I can't comment. I do use nudge mode to essentially accomplish the same thing providing I'm moving by bars and beats. 4. Let's say I have clip A on bar 1 and clip B on bar 2, and both are 1 bar long. I accidentally nudged Clip A to bar 2, so they overlap exactly on the same spot. Then how can I choose clip A or clip B? If the two clips are exactly the same length and you've nudged one on top of another, it's not possible to select the one beneath, at least as far as I can tell. Now, that may be different in version 11 and I don't know off the top of my head. I won't be able to check that for another day or so. Of

Re: Questions about Clips
Hi James, 1. Use the Import command under the File menu and choose audio. Navigate to the file, press Enter and then press the Done button. You'll be prompted whether to import to the session or import to a track. Choose the track radio button. 2. That's exactly the steps for auditioning the various takes (or playlists). The master playlist is simply the very first playlist that is created when a track is initially created. There's nothing else that has to be done, it's simply the first. Yes, you can use the Control-Option-v shortcut but, first, you'll have to pass through the shortcut because VoiceOver uses it for adjusting verbosity. Further, once you've pasted it to the master, you can't hear it in context, that is, with the audio that precedes or follows it. I suppose one can just listen to those transitions later and fix them as needed. My personal preference is to actually navigate to the master playlist and audition the beginnings and endings on the spot. 3. The scenario you're using in your final question is best achieved with either visually dragging in grid mode or simply cutting and pasting on the grid. Again, I personally don't use grid mode but I seem to remember somebody trying it and having some success. Again, I couldn't verify how easy/difficult/successful/unsuccessful it would be.

Re: Questions about Clips
The straight-forward answer is that I'm not a grid kind of guy. The music I record doesn't lend itself to landing on precisely 0 ticks. I don't do electronic music. I do mostly live musicians playing real instruments and any editing I do is based on natural phrases. Sometimes I do need to nudge something a little forward or back but then it's just a matter of milliseconds, sometimes 10, sometimes 100, whatever is required. I flip between Shuffle mode and Slip mode. Most of the time, I use slip mode if I'm editing multitrack sessions for individual performances. Otherwise, I use Shuffle when I'm editing between multitrack takes of live performances like jazz ensembles, orchestra, etc. Slau On Oct 30, 2013, at 12:55 PM, Poppa Bear heavens4r...@gmail.com wrote: Slau, Why don't you use grid mode, and what mode do you use and why?
