Keyboard Shortcuts for Trimming

Other Trimming operations

Region/trim-front j

Region/trim-end k
-
Trim selected region(s) end to edit point.

Trim to Next/Previous Region

- Sometimes you just want to extend the start or end of region so that it reaches - the end or start of an adjacent region. There is now an operation accessible - from the region context menu, under Edit >Trim > Trim to - Next or Edit > Trim > Trim to Previous. This - will extend the selected regions so they directly adjoin their neighbours, unless - their source files are not long enough, in which case they will be extended to the - maximum possible. Trim to Next will extend the end of the selected regions to the - start of the next region; Trim to Previous will extend the start of the selected - regions to the end of the previous region. + These command are both in the Region > Trim main menu + (with a region selected) or in the contect menu of a region, + right click on a region > Name_Of_The_Region + > Trim

-
-
Region/trim-to-previous-region j
-
Trim the start of selected region(s) to the end of the previous - region.
-
Region/trim-to-next-region k
-
Trim the end of selected region(s) to the start of the following - region.
-
-

Other Possible Commands for Trimming

-

- These are not bound to any keys by default, but could be via the Keybindings - Editor. They can also be sent via OSC or other control protocols. -

-
Region/trim-region-to-loop
-
Trim region to match the current loop range.
-
Region/trim-region-to-punch
-
Trim region to match the current punch range.
+
Trim Start at Edit Point (j)
+
Trim selected region(s) start to edit point.
+
Trim End at Edit Point (k)
+
Trim selected region(s) end to edit point.
+
Trim to Loop/Punch
+
Trim selected region(s) beginning and end to the loop/punch boundaries (if it exists).
+
Trim to Previous (j)
+
Trim the start of selected region(s) to the end of the previous region. + If the region is too short, it is extended to it's maximum to the left.
+
Trim to Next (k)
+
Trim the end of selected region(s) to the start of the following region. + If the region is too short, it is extended to it's maximum to the right.
