"Slipping" Audio Within a Region

[fader8]

Rumor has it that there is a key command for nudging audio forward and backward within the region, ie the waveform moves but the region stays in place. Of course, this is dependent on if you have sufficient handles in the file outside your region.

Some nonlinear editors have what's known as a "slip" tool that performs this. Anyway, can't find any hint to it in the docs. Anyone?

I may be wrong about this, but by definition, any fraction of a piece of audio becomes a separate region, so you can't move audio within a region, because by definition, it becomes another region..... Did you have some other meaning in mind?

Control + or - on the keypad should do the trick. Highlight the region first. - moves the audio later, + moves it earlier. This is the opposite of the nudge keys. Old habits, I guess.

Isn't that the command for trim right edge of region.
I believe he's asking how to move the audio within the current region bounds.

Ah, that does it. The increments follow the nudge settings too!

Thanks alot!

PS, it'd be nice if there was a modifier for the grabber tool to do this, but the key commands are excellent for fine tuning.

Are you on a PC? These are what does it on a Mac.

Nudging a Region’s Contents

Often a region’s start point will reside at the correct location, perhaps at a SMPTE frame or bar, but the material within the region starts too late or early. You can, in effect, nudge a region’s audio waveform or MIDI notes without displacing the region’s start and end points.

This “sliding” of region contents is only possible if there is material residing outside the region’s start and end points—from the region having been trimmed, or perhaps captured from a larger region.

1) Configure the Nudge value.
2) With the Time Grabber tool, select the region
whose contents you want to nudge.
3) While pressing the Start key (Windows) or
Control (Mac), press Plus (+) or Minus (–) on the
numeric keypad to move the material by the
Nudge value.

Super cool trick!
