drag the corner markers out, and you'll see the rest of the file still hiding there. you can stretch back as much of it as you like.
This is just a variant of UNDO. Not enough if you remove one part of the clip and want to glue the sorrounding parts together. Not enough if you take out one segment and insert it in a different place. For example replace a bad note (consert) with the corresponding from the next verse or a different take (rehersal). After the editing operation you'd like to treat the edited clip as one unit.

I'm not making this up for the argument. I actually do this... It would be nice to have more powerful non destructive editing tools than T1 has. I doubt much happened here in T2. As long as the hiss is there it is unusable for audio. The hiss can be tens of dB louder than the music... I do classical music. I've put T2 away until it can be unlocked and actually used.

I agree - this would be useful.

What you are describing is a "group clips" feature. I would prefer it to a "join clips" feature because it would leave the edits visible (while still being able to treat the group like one object.)

Agreed. That would be great.

I think Digital Performer has a feature that when you split clips like this, you can then insert silence between them and it can even auto-crossfade the clips to silence and back, and some other things. Then you can also create one long clip using the smaller ones. I think these things would be cool to have.

yup, group clips is what we want.

for now, you still can export a selection - just make your selection and press M first (moves the markers either end) then click export and select to use selected clips only.

that's how we do it at the moment. bring us group clips please! :D
Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.
