As it seems I didn’t ‘Complete’ my Tutorial the other night; I will do so now:
We have an ‘Area’ within Our First Track (sitting on ‘1 Audio’ that needs to be Deleted);
In Order to Do This; we Need to ‘Split The Track’ and then Delete ‘That Part That Is ‘Not Required’
Before we do this Our Screen looks like this:
We ‘Expand Our Resolution’ and Find the ‘Exact Grid Position’ where we Need to ‘Split the Track’:
We then ‘Delete’ the Area To The Right Of The Split; as this Area will be ‘Filled’ with our Track sitting in ‘2 Audio’
We do this by ‘Left Clicking’ Once on the Track (that has been Split – to the Right Of The Split); so that it is Highlighted in Yellow; we then ‘Right Click’ this Part Of Track ‘1 Audio’; and Select ‘Delete’:
And Finally; at the ‘Same Resolution’; Our Final Step is to ‘Move’ the ‘Ending Of Our Track’ sitting within ‘2 Audio’ into ‘1 Audio’; we do this ‘Simply’ by ‘Left Clicking’ Once on the Track we wish To Move; so that it is Highlighted in Yellow;
And we ‘Drag’ this Track into the ‘Space’ Vacated by ‘Deleting The End Of The Track’ that ‘Was’ sitting on ‘1 Audio’
Our Last Step is to ‘Zoom Out’ and ‘Join The 3 Pieces Of Our Track Together’ using an Action called ‘Consolidate’;
We do this by following these Simple Steps;
1: Left Click Once on the ‘First Part Of The Track’
2: ‘Hold Shift’ and ‘Left Click’ Once on the ‘Final (Third) Part Of The Track’
This will make ‘All 3 Parts Of The Track’ Highlighted in Yellow
Once this has happened we can ‘Release The Shift Button’
‘Right Click’ Once on the ‘Final Part Of The Track’ and Select ‘Consolidate’
You will now Notice that Ableton Re-Scans the Track; and ‘Stitches All Parts Of The Track Together’
So; you end up with a Screen that looks like this:
And that is ‘One’ Way of Achieving a DJ Edit in Ableton 🙂
