11.2.2.  Truncating (Splitting) and Extending Clips

Also in clip mode, you can split audio clips nondestructively. To split a clip:
  1. Position the playhead in the timecode bar at the top of the Qtractor workspace to the position at which you'd like to split your audio clip.
  2. Click the clip you want to split so that it is selected.
  3. Click the Clip menu and choose Split. The clip has now been split at the position of the playhead.
Since Qtractor never affects the original audio file it is referencing, any split you make to an audio clip is reversible. The easiest way to undo a clip (aside from using Edit > Undo) is to extend the clip. To extend a clip, click on the edge of the clip with your selection arrow and click and pull the edge to reveal more of the audio file within the track.

Note

Extending or truncating clips by dragging the clip's edge is also affected by the Snap setting, so if you are having difficulty modifying the end or beginning of a clip, check to make snapping is deactivated.
A second way to split clips is to use the Range or Rectangle selection tools.
