Get started with the Audio Track Editor

The Audio Track Editor shows a close-up view of part of an audio track in the Tracks area,
displaying the audio waveforms of the regions on the track.

In the Audio Track Editor, you can move and trim, split, and join audio regions, play a region
in isolation, and edit regions in other ways. Edits you make in the Audio Track Editor are
nondestructive, so you can always return to your original recordings.

You can also quantize and edit the pitch of audio material in the Audio Track Editor using Flex
Pitch. When you choose a Flex Pitch algorithm, the contents of the audio track are analyzed for
pitch, and the results are displayed as a pitch curve overlaid on the waveform.

the selected audio track.
