thanks

Look it up in the shortcut list, it's there...

cutting: /
don't know bout the joining, almost never use that, but it should be in the list...

To split clips just select the clip (or clips) by clicking on it, then use the split clips button in the properties. You can also use the "/" key to split at the cursor.

Tip: To select a group of clips use Alt-click-drag.

To join midi clips use Alt-click-drag or shift click to select the clips you want to join (merge), then choose merge clips in the properties panel.

To join audio clips select the track first, then use the render option in the properties panel. You cant join audio clips yet in T1. But rendering them is pretty easy. And you can always drag the clips you want onto an empty track and render them, then put them back. Just a small work around.

Cheers chaps, I guess I just missed the 'split clips' button.. :oops:

On a similar note, is there anyway to loop clips?

Post

You can loop audio clips by pressing the "loop this clip" button in the space at the bottom. ;)

Alternatively, just use CTRL+C (copy) and CTRL+V (paste) which are standard convention for Windows at least. Since I tend to plan my songs out first (at least a 'sketchy' version) I find that copying and pasting is super-quick. Not quite as quick as an Acid paintbrush, but pretty close. ;)

MIDI does not have looping yet-- so you'll have to copy and paste. On the other hand, as mentioned you can merge MIDI clips which makes the end result a little more elegant.

Sorry for bringing up these basic questions, I'm a Logic user if that's any excuse...

Quite good, indeed. :D Never apologize for needing clarification or pointers. Sometimes the obvious is hiding in plain sight, but still hiding. I ask plenty silly questions. ;)
