Separating Multiple Tracks
Figure 27 illustrates a separation across one
mono audio track and two stereo tracks. For
some tracks, the selection resides within a re-
gion, while others reside at the start or end of a
region.
Once separated, this material can be moved or
copied to another location.
Separation Grabber Tool
You can use the Separation Grabber tool to auto-
matically separate an Edit selection and move it
to another location or another track.
To separate a selection with the Separation
Grabber tool:
1
With the Selector tool, make an Edit selection.
The selection can reside within a single region,
across adjacent regions within the same track, or
across multiple tracks.
2
From the Grabber tools pop-up menu, choose
the Separation Grabber tool.
3
Drag the selection to the new location, or to
another track.
A new region (or regions) containing the previ-
ous selection is created, separate from the origi-
nal selection. New regions are also created from
the material outside the original selection.
