Remove selected clips
You can remove selected clips from a session but keep their source files available in the Insert menu, the Files panel,
and Edit View. Alternatively, you can destroy selected clips to both remove them from a session and close their source
files.
• To remove selected clips, choose Clip > Remove, or press Delete.
• To destroy selected clips, choose Clip > Destroy.

Trimming and extending clips
You can trim or extend audio clips to suit the needs of a mix. Because Multitrack View is nondestructive, clip edits
are impermanent; you can return to the original, unedited clip at any time. If you want to permanently edit an audio
clip, however, you can quickly open the source file in Edit View.
