Clear Command

Use the Clear command to remove a selection from a track without placing it on the Clipboard.

To clear a selection or clip:

1 If you want to constrain the selection to the current Grid value, enable Snap to Grid.

2 Set the Track View for the tracks you want to edit.

When displaying waveforms for audio tracks, or notes or clips for MIDI tracks, selections include underlying automation and controller data. If the track is displaying automation data, only the automation data is affected by the edits.

3 Make an Edit selection.

4 Choose Edit > Clear to remove the selection.

If a portion of a clip was cleared, new clips are auto-created from the material residing outside of the selection. When Shuffle Clips is enabled, any subsequent clips slide over to fill any empty space.
