Pasting with Splice Mode off and On
With Splice OFF, when multiple regions with a gap (no audio) between them are pasted to
another track together, only sections where there is recorded audio will overwrite what exists on
the track. In other words, audio existing on the pasted-to track will be audible in the gaps
between the newly pasted regions. If Splice is ON, gaps in the pasted-in regions will remain.
This is consistent with the above, since the original track moves out of the way to make room for
the spliced-in section, leaving a space with no audio to poke through the holes.
NOTE: Splice only works with clipboard (cut and paste) operations. It doesn’t apply when
dragging a region to a new location with the hand tool.
Snap Mode and Snap-to Functions
When Snap is enabled, objects that you are dragging, such as regions or selection lines, no longer
move smoothly with seemingly infinite resolution. Instead they move smoothly until they get
close to a "magnetic" object or time position, to which they are drawn and appear to stick unless
you continue dragging to un-stick them. With Snap enabled, you can butt regions together
quickly and accurately by simply dragging them head to tail and letting them "snap" into place.
What the Snap operation treats as magnetic is up to you. The Current Time line is always a snap
target whenever Snap is enabled. If you are dragging a region, then the edges of regions on the
same track as well as the Selection Start and End points will also
be magnetized. Optionally, you can snap to Cues and/or evenly
spaced points on the Time Bar (a time grid). Both the I-Beam
and Hand selection tools are affected by Snapping.
Regions, region boundaries, and selection boundaries, when
dragged, are all affected by the Snap function.
When dragging a Region, you can select what part of the region
you want to be snap sensitive. Choose between the region's left
edge (head), right edge (tail), or Click Spot (which is where you
clicked on the region to begin dragging it).
Snapping the left edge is useful when the sound starts at the very
beginning of the region. Snapping to the click spot is more
useful if your region is starts with a bit of “air” before the sound
you want to place at a specific location. For example, you want
to position a word on a downbeat, but the region includes a
