Editing
Pro Tools provides several tools for editing audio
and MIDI. In the Edit window, audio and MIDI
tracks can be edited into regions or repeated in
different locations to create loops, re-arrange
sections or entire songs, or to assemble tracks us-
ing material from multiple takes.
Audio and MIDI editing are typically used to:
• Fix or replace mistakes
• Re-arrange songs and projects
• Clean up track timing and rhythm by
aligning hits to Grid values like bars and
beats
• Create final tracks using selections from
multiple takes (also known as comp tracks ).
Edit Modes
Pro Tools has the following Edit modes: Shuffle,
Spot, Slip, and two Grid modes, Absolute (stan-
dard Pro Tools Grid mode), and Relative.
The Edit mode is selected by clicking the corre-
sponding button in the upper left of the Edit
window.
The Edit mode affects the movement and place-
ment of audio and MIDI regions (and individual
MIDI notes), how commands like Copy and
Paste function, and also how the various edit
tools (Trimmer, Selector, Grabber, and Pencil)
work.
