Common Region Edit Operations

This section covers a set of region editing operations that are likely to be used often while working on a session. Depending on work habits (and experience of other DAWs), some of these operations will be critical while others are used only rarely.

All of these operations can be carried out from the keyboard (see Default Keyboard Shortcuts for a list). Equivalent operations can be performed with the mouse in most cases.

Some of these operations make use of the edit point/range and affect specific regions.

Crop	Truncate selected regions to the edit range.
