Cutting events
Cutting an event, a time selection, or an event within a time selection removes the audio data from the track view and places it on the
clipboard. Once data is placed on the clipboard, it can be pasted back into the project an unlimited number of times. Clipboard content
remains on the clipboard until it is replaced by new data.
1.
Select the event data you want to cut or make a time selection. For more information, see Making selections on page 38.
2.
Cut the event data using any of the following methods:
• Click the Cut button ( ) on the toolbar.
• Choose Cut from the Edit menu.
• Right-click the selection and choose Cut from the shortcut menu.
• Press Ctrl+X.
All selected events are removed from the track view and placed on the clipboard.
Deleting events
Deleting an event, a time selection, or an event within a time selection removes the data from the track view and discards it. Deleted
events are not placed on the clipboard and do not replace or interfere with current clipboard content. In addition, deleted events
cannot be pasted back into a project.
Note:
Deleted data can only be replaced in a project using the Undo command. For more information, see Using undo on page 44.
