MOVE

Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu

Phrase MOVE lets you place a selected phrase in a new location. You
can move a phrase to a new time location and/or to another track. You
can move it to a currently selected V-Track, or to a V-Track that isn’t
currently selected.

Why You’d Use Phrase MOVE

If there’s a timing error in a performance, MOVE can shift it into correct musical time.
You can also move a great performance from one spot in a project to another more
useful location—for example, if a guitarist plays a great lick at the end of your fadeout,
you can move the lick into the project’s intro, or into the solo section in the middle of
the project.

Edit Points

FROM

—sets the location of the phrase’s time anchor.

TO

—sets the time location to which you want to move the time anchor.

Quantize

Quantize lets you move a phrase exactly to the first beat of a measure when you’ve set
up a tempo map for your project (see Page 312).
Set it to:

Off

—so that the phrase is moved to the TO location.

On

—so that the phrase is moved to the first beat of the measure in which TO is

currently placed.

TRIM IN

Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu

TRIM IN allows you to adjust the location at which a selected phrase
begins without changing the timing of its audio content.

Why You’d Use Phrase TRIM IN

You can use TRIM IN to make sure that a phrase starts exactly where its audio begins by
cleaning off unwanted silence or noise from its beginning. This can make it easier to
move or copy the phrase. Use TRIM IN to clean up the front of your mastering tracks
(Page 346).

Edit Points

TO

—sets the desired beginning of the phrase. Any part of the phrase that occurs

before the TO point is trimmed from the phrase.

The TRACK menu’s phrase MOVE operation lets you move phrases to V-Tracks that
aren’t currently selected.

Quantizing works when you’re moving a phrase much the way it works when you’re
copying multiple phrases, as illustrated on Page 256.
