Transport - Nudge -1 Frame (better to nudge one sample backwards but no dedicate command to that.Tool - Object Selection (Select Tool in key commands).Tool - Make single selection with range tool (not a range selection) Preference - Turn on Auto Select Events Under Cursor If there was a way to have it select next region after using the range select that would be much more constant in function and wouldn’t depend on Preference - Turn on Auto Select Events Under Cursor. Here is the closest thing I could come up with but it is not full-proof (foolproof) in that you have to have Auto Select Events under Cursor on in preferences or it will not work. I use the alt left and right but I can’t think of a way to use them to go to the current selection location to trim to start or end.

Thanks I was able to make this pretty close to Pro Tools with a macro Transport - Locate Selection and Audio - Fade Fade In to Cursor (and the same for fade out).

To trim an event just make a range selection and hit delete, or maybe use Alt + left/right and Alt + Shift + left/right (these nudge start and end of events according to the currently set value in the grid type menu) You can assign key commands to them in the key commands window. Was this tutorial on How to Consolidate clips in Pro Tools useful? If so:All in the Audio menu. You have now learned How to Consolidate clips in Pro Tools. The program will now read a single audio file (single clip) per track, making the playback engine run smoother. Note how these clips do not appear as sliced but as single clips, this is because they are completely new audio files that include the previous edits and compilations applied before.

Consolidate the clips by clicking on the top menu bar: Edit -> Consolidate Clip: Now that all the clips have been highlighted, they can be consolidated.ģ. Click and drag all the mouse to select all the clips that want to be consolidated: These are the tracks that will be consolidated.Ģ. The editing could have happened due time-alignment or compilation of several takes. These tracks have been edited because there are several clips on each track. The picture above shows a Pro Tools session with several tracks.įrom the previous picture we can see that this session contains several tracks.

The following tutorial shows a step-by-step guide on how to consolidate clips in Pro Tools. Having a single file per track instead of a group of clips and compiled takes, makes it easier for the hard drive to run the session since it would only need to single file per each track. After the consolidation process has finished, a new single audio file is created that includes all the information that was present on that playlist. If a track has been edited and compiled using several takes, it is often recommended before mixing to consolidate it. After an editing session, multiple clips and even multiple audio files might end up being in a single track, ultimately taxing the hard drive since it must scan for this clips or files in real time in order to play back the audio.Ī solution for this common situation is to consolidate the clips into new files.

Every time the user creates a slice, a new clip is created since the previous is cut in half. Often times, prior to the mixing stage of a production, the engineer might spend time editing the audio tracks, perhaps by time-aligning or applying elastic audio procedures.
