Now the beginning of the waveform matches the desired 
bar position.
Editing warp tabs can also be useful if you change the 
length of a segment that you have already warped. In this 
case, editing warp tabs can help you synchronize your au

dio again.

Background
The Audio Part Editor allows you to view and edit the events 
inside audio parts. Essentially, this is the same type of edit
-
ing that you do in the Project window, which means that 
this chapter contains a lot of references to the chapter 
“Working with projects” on page 51.
Audio parts are created in the Project window in one of 
the following ways:
•By selecting one or several audio events on the same 
track, and selecting “Events to Part” from the Audio menu.

About lanes
If you make the editor window larger, this will reveal addi-
tional space below the edited events. This is because an 
audio part is divided vertically in lanes. 
Lanes can make it easier to work with several audio events 
in a part. Moving some of the events to another lane can 
make selection and editing much easier.
•To move an event to another lane without accidentally 
moving it horizontally, press [Ctrl]/[Command] and drag it 
up or down.

Handling several parts
When you open the Audio Part Editor with several parts se-
lected – all on the same track or on different tracks – they 
might not all “fit” in the editor window, which can make it 
hard to get an overview of the different parts when editing.
Therefore, the toolbar features a few functions to make 
working with multiple parts easier and more comprehen
