anp27 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 These key commands have existed prior to 10.7.8: Set Region/Event/Marquee Start to Playhead Position Set Region/Event/Marquee End to Playhead Position Then the release of 10.7.8 just a few days ago brought us these new key commands: Trim Region start to Playhead Position Trim Region end to Playhead Position These four key commands appear to do kind of the same thing. Why would I use one set of them over the other, or why would I use all of them together? I think I might be missing something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried it on an Apple Loop, they both do the same thing, snap start/end to the playhead. The only difference I'm seeing is between audio and MIDI regions. With MIDI regions using Set Start/End extends the length of the region, with audio regions Set Start/End can't extend the region if the loop length isn't long in the first place. I guess that would be the distinction, use Set to extend the length of MIDI regions... then again I might as well just always use Set then because it has the ability to do both Set and Trim, and Trim just "trims". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted May 29, 2023 Solution Share Posted May 29, 2023 The "Set" key commands can extend a MIDI region's boundaries to make it longer, whereas the "Trim" key commands can only make a MIDI region shorter. The "Set" key commands don't affect MIDI notes positioned at the region's border, whereas the "Trim" key commands shorten the notes positioned at the trim point (region start) or trigger the Notes Crossing Split Point dialog (region end). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I have a lot of trouble with the "Set Start" key command. It often shortens my MIDI regions to an arbitrary point not fully to the playhead. Does anyone know what causes this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
