Using the Time Compression/Expansion Trim Tool in Spot Mode

In Spot mode, clicking with the TCE Trim tool in a clip opens the Spot dialog. You can specify the location where you want the clip to start or end, or the duration of the clip, and the clip is automatically compressed or expanded as specified.

To compress or expand MIDI clips in Spot mode:

1 Set the Edit mode to Spot.

2 Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Clips view.

3 Select the TCE Trim tool.

4 Click the MIDI clip near its start or end point. The Spot dialog opens. Using any Time Scale, enter a new start or end time (or duration) for the clip, and then click OK. A new MIDI clip is automatically created, and appears both in the playlist and in the Clip List.
