Welcome to Pro Tools LE 11
Make an Audio Edit
In this example we’ll show you how to do a simple edit to change where a song starts. To show
this, we used a song where the drummer is heard “counting off” the tempo (“1...2...1.2.3...”)
before the song starts. Here’s what this song looks like in Pro Tools.
In the picture, the two waveforms let you visualize the different sections. We can take advan-
tage of this “what you see is what you hear” aspect of Pro Tools to be able to quickly silence
the countoff by “trimming” the beginning of the song.
To trim:
1 Click to select the Trim tool (located in the toolbar).
2 Click in the track after the countoff and before the start of the song (you’ll see the cursor dis-
play the Trimmer icon). Drag left or right to fine tune the location.
3 For future reference, you can “untrim” the song by clicking and dragging the song start back
to the left with the Trim tool. You’ll see that the previous audio (the countoff) is still there.
This is a small example of how Pro Tools lets you edit non-destructively.
