7.3.8 Capture Session Navigation

SOFTWARE —Universal Control, Capture and StudioLive Artist
As with a word processor and most other software applications, Capture
supports basic Cut, Copy, and Paste actions. Once a selection of events, or a
range of events, has been made, these actions can be performed as follows:
• Cut: Press [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+X on the keyboard to cut the current selection.
• Copy: Press [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+C on the keyboard to copy the current selection.
• Paste: Once a selection is cut or copied, press [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+P on the
keyboard to paste the selection. The selection will be pasted to the current
Playback Cursor position, or to the beginning of the track from which the
selection originated if the Playback Cursor is not currently set anywhere.
Listen While Editing
In audio production, the editing process can be particularly unforgiving.
Small inaccuracies when splitting, moving, or performing other
actions on recorded audio can lead to unwanted results.
As simple as it may seem, the act of listening while editing is often
overlooked. For instance, when sizing the edges of a vocal part to
remove unwanted sounds between words, it is tempting to make the
edits based on the visual representation of the waveform. While this may
work sometimes, it is a much better idea to listen as you size the events
to be sure you are not removing any critical part of the vocals.
Listening to your edits as you make them will save
time and frustration in nearly every case.
The ability to quickly navigate to certain areas of your Session is highly
useful during the mixing process. The following describes the ways
in which you can quickly navigate throughout your Session.
Scrolling
To scroll left and right through time in your Session, click and drag
the horizontal scroll bar near the bottom of the Edit window.
Timeline Zooming
You can zoom in and out of your Session with respect to time in the Edit window,
so that you can look at the entire length of the Session or just view a small
region of time to make accurate edits. To zoom, do one of the following:
Click and drag left or right on the Zoom scroll bar in the lower
right-hand corner of the Edit window to zoom in or out.
Press [W] on the keyboard to zoom out slightly. Press
[E] on the keyboard to zoom in slightly.
Click inside the Timeline ruler at any point in time
and drag down or up to zoom in or out.
