Editing a track

Once you have a take you like, you can work on it without starting over. Editing always creates a new result and leaves the original take untouched.

Open the edit tools

Select a take under Tracks. An Edit this track bar appears under it with three choices.

Which one do I want?

Mode	Use it to	Regenerates audio?
Basic	Trim, fade, change speed or volume	No — it edits the existing audio
Remix	Restyle the track, add vocals, or redo one section	Yes
Separate	Split the track into stems such as drums, bass and vocals	No

The distinction that matters: Basic and Separate work on the audio you already have, so they are quick and cheap and give you exactly the same performance back. Remix generates new audio, so it costs like a generation and the result will differ from the original take.

Tip

Reach for Basic first. Most of what people want from an edit — a shorter track, a gentler opening, a quieter bed under a voiceover — is trimming and fading, not regeneration.

Next steps

• Basic edits — trim, fade, speed and volume.
• Remix a track — Cover, Morph and Repaint.
• Separate stems — vocals and instruments as separate files.
