Note: If Hyper Draw or automation is activated, you need to grab the left or right side of
the region title area.

To simultaneously resize two adjacent regions

1

Select the Pointer or Pencil tool, then place the cursor over the upper-left or upper-right
corner of two side-by-side regions.

The cursor changes to the Junction pointer.

Note: If there is a gap between the regions, the Loop tool is shown when the mouse
pointer is moved over the upper-right corner of the earlier region.

2

Drag to the left or right.

Both regions are resized accordingly, with no gaps between them.

Note: You cannot make an audio region longer than the underlying audio file when using
either of the resize operations described above.

Adjusting the Start Point of Audio Regions

Adjusting the start point of an audio region may also move the region anchor point, thus
affecting its temporal reference point, and making it play back out of sync with other
tracks. It is better, and simpler, to move the entire region to the right, if you want playback
to start later.

If you want to remove the early portion of the region, you have several options, such as:

• Marquee selection and muting

• Cutting and muting or deleting

• Creating a new region, and resizing it in the Audio Bin window

• Using the Sample Editor to resize, and replace, the Arrange region
