2 Choose Region > Loops > Convert to Aliases (or use the Convert Loops to Aliases key
command).
MIDI region loop repeats are converted into aliases. Audio region loop repeats are
converted into cloned audio regions.
As such, any alterations to the length of the original region affect all aliases and cloned
regions.
Dividing Regions
You can divide one or more selected regions with the Scissors tool.
To divide one or more regions
1 Select the regions you want to divide.
2 Select the Scissors tool.
3 Click-hold the regions you want to divide.
The help tag shows the current divide position.
4 Release the mouse button.
All selected regions are cut at the position shown in the help tag.
When selecting a cut point with the Scissors tool, you can move backward and forward
in steps of one division. The grid is based on the Snap pop-up menu setting.
To make finer resolution divisions (overriding the current Snap value)
Do one of the following:
µ Hold down the Control key after you select the region with the Scissors tool to divide in
the division value (1/16th, 1/32nd, and so on, as shown in the Transport bar).
µ Hold Control-Shift to divide regions with even more precision (ticks or samples).
The newly created segments of an audio region are named after the original, with a
sequential number appended to the end of the name.
Divided MIDI regions are named after the original, with no sequential numbering. Each
MIDI region resulting from the division is independent and contains data.
