CHAPTER 6. ARRANGEMENT VIEW

Consolidating Several
Clips Into a New Clip.
Suppose you have, by editing or improvising, come up with a layout of clips that sound
good in
Arrangement Loop mode
. Selecting that part of the Arrangement, for instance by
using the Edit menu's Select Loop command, and then executing the Consolidate command
creates a new clip that can be treated as a loop. You can now, for instance, drag the clip
edges to create more repetitions. You might also want to drag the new loop via the Session
View selector into a Session View slot for real-time arrangement purposes.
When operating on audio clips, Consolidate actually creates a new sample for every track
in the selection. The new samples are essentially recordings of the time-warping engine's
audio output, prior to processing in the track's effects chain and mixer. Hence, the new
sample incorporates the effects of in-clip attenuation, time-warping and pitch shifting, and
of the respective
clip envelopes
; however, it does not incorporate the effects. To create a
new sample from the post-effects signal, please use the
Export Audio/Video command
.
The new samples can be found in the current Set's
Project folder
, under Samples/Processed/
Consolidate. Until the Set is saved, they remain at the location speci ed by the
Temporary
Folder
.
