CHAPTER 7 174
Mixing Multitrack Sessions
To copy a clip to a different track or to irregular positions in the current track, see
“Copying audio and MIDI clips” on page 173.
To repeat a clip:
1 Select the clip, and choose Edit > Clip Duplicate.
2 Set the following options:
Duplicate Clip Specifies the number of times to duplicate the clip.
Spacing Determines the spacing between each duplicated clip:
• No Gaps—Continuous Looping places each duplicate directly after its preceding clip,
for a continuous loop.
For a more flexible method of looping, adjust a clip’s loop properties. See “About loops”
on page 197.
• Evenly Spaced defines the spacing between each clip according to the time display
format. This value defaults to the length of the selected clip, producing the same effect
as the No Gaps option. Enter a greater value to place space between each clip, or enter
a lesser value to overlap clips.
To repeat a clip such as a drum hit at every other beat in a song, set the time format to
Bars And Beats. (See “Monitoring time” on page 69.) If the clip’s start and end points
don’t align properly with beats, trim the clip in Edit View by using Edit > Find Beats.
Setting audio clip properties
In the Audio Clip Properties window, you can change settings such as volume, pan, and
color for audio clips. Clip settings for volume, pan, and mute are independent from
similar track controls.
You can also lock clips in time and lock them for play only. If a clip is locked in time, you
can move it up or down to another track, but you can’t move it right or left to a new
timeline position. If a clip is locked for play only, you can record in the remainder of the
track without recording over the clip.
You can directly access many audio clip properties from the Edit menu or the clip
context menu (for example, choose Edit > Adjust Audio Clip Volume).
