Pro Tools.. Trimming multiple regions at once?

[adoucette]

Hi, I have a quick Q that I need an answer too asap.

When I beat detective say, drums, You can slice and conform all the regions at once. But how do you trim the multiple regions back all at once?

For example. When you slice and conform a snare, you now has a small gap of silence on the beginning of each region. You can drag these regions back until they overlap onto the region before it, allowing you to do a crossfade. But.. I dont want to do this for EVERY hit, I want to grab all the regions at once, and draw them all back the same amount.

Is there a hot-key to hold to do this??

Thanks
Andre

If I'm following you correctly just group all your drums and turn the group on when you do the trimming.

Edit: sorry, just re-read your post. are you talking about doing this on individual tracks for multiple hits? If so I'm interested as well and my advice is useless.

I beleive he means ALL the edits on one track only.

Yes thats right. Grouping the drums adjusts all the edits to one grid point on all the tracks, but I want to adjust all the edit points on a single track at once

You can do this with Looped Regions.

Does Fill in gaps & crossfade not work for you?

Where is "fill in gaps"?

Its under the "Edit Smoothing" tab at the bottom of the Beat Detective window.
