Inserting increments
In addition to creating selections, the Chopper feature allows you to configure the sections of silence between selections painted on a
track. When you click the Link Arrow to Selection button ( ), the increment arrow length is incremented with the selection length.
This forces the increment and selection lengths to remain equal, thereby allowing you to insert selections seamlessly, end-to-end, in the
project.
Selection and increment length linked
Chopper selection inserted end-to-end three times
When the Link Arrow to Selection button is toggled off, the increment arrow is displayed in black and you are able to establish a
increment length that is independent of the selection length. The increment arrow can be set by dragging either end of the arrow or by
using the increment shortcut menu.
When the increment length is greater than the length of the selection, an appropriate amount of silence is inserted following the
selection when you insert it in the track view. This affects the track’s insert position and allows you to paint selections separated by the
specified increment.
Increment greater than selection
Selection inserted with specified increment three times
When the increment length is less than the length of the selection, the selections are overlapped as you insert them in the track view.
Increment less than selection
Selection overlaps when inserted three times
Creating increments
1.
Verify that the Link Arrow to Selection button ( ) is toggled off and the increment arrow is displayed in black.
2.
Drag the point of the arrow to configure an increment of the desired length.
Tip:
While dragging the increment arrow, the Chopper’s middle status value temporarily displays the length of the increment.
