Reasons To Merge Clips
Multiple virtual instrument clips are on one track and you’d like to print out sheet
music for the entire track, but the notation view only displays one clip at a time.
Merging the clips together allows the notes to appear correctly in the notation view.
You have multiple audio clips one track recorded with the same noisy air conditioner
in the background and you want to remove the noise in one command. Merging the
clips together allows you to remove the noise one time.
The current project has hundreds of clips and your workspace is getting confusing and
slow. Merging the clips to one sound will cut down on resources, speed up your mix by
cutting down on CPU, and unclutter the interface, as well.
SELECTING CLIPS
A selection is an area that you’d like to edit or work on.
 Drawing A Selection
Click and drag the cursor over a region to create a selection. The selected is
displayed as a transparent purple rectangle. Selections obey the snap setting.
(“Transparent Purple Rectangle” is a fabulous name for a psychedelic band as well.)
The selection drag may be started on the timeline, a clip, or a track body.
