Audio clip ​

An audio clip is one piece of a recording, or one notes pattern, where it plays on its track. Pick it on the track's Composition tab and its icons open its controls: Repeats with Gap, Speed, Piece volume where the track holds more than one piece, and the Fade in and Fade out switches; a fade you switch on is drawn over the clip as a box you can drag longer or shorter, up to two seconds or half the clip.

Where you can use an audio clip ​

  • Audio — Track

A clip from a song someone has posted can come into yours: in the audio editor's Add menu, press Import, then Starred and community, and pick a clip. It lands on a new track of its own at the playhead, bringing the sound it plays.
