Basic NanoStudio 2 question (resize from left edge)

Is it possible to resize a part/clip from the LEFT side? I know parts/clips can be made longer on the right, using the drag handle at the bottom, but I can’t figure out how to resize a part from the left.

Thanks in advance.

    Oh goodness. Same as BM3. Fack.

    Thank you, @dendy

  • Can't you split the clip at the point you want to resize to, and then delete the left clip?

    Yes you can!
    But @papertiger is right, being able to also move the start point like in Cubasis would be helpful during the rearrangement of clips, especially when you have long MIDI clips in which you have to find the good spots before being sure where to cut.

  • Agreed. It’s an oversight to be sure. I use this in Auria Pro as well.

  • Another important use for this, among others, is being able to reuse different parts of the same idea in different parts of the song (as linked copies), while still keeping the whole idea centrally editable.

    @papertiger (if you have Xequence, you can resize from the left there, including looped and cloned clips).

    Xequence 2, Auria Pro, and Cubasis can; NanoStudio 2 and Beatmaker 3 cannot. It’s a very simple thing but it’s incredibly annoying to have to work around.

    I’ve been experimenting with the AUM, Xequence and Audiobus trifecta lately, @SevenSystems. I just need that timeline way too much to stick with just AUM. If it sticks all that’s left is to solve my MPE “dilemma” - record and delete audio until I get a nice take or deal with MPE MIDI data on iOS - lol!

    I was giving NanoStudio 2 another go. I don’t understand why no one can get DAWs on iOS right!

  • Once audio comes to NanoStudio this will be a major shortcoming, I’m always needing to trim the start of audio clips.

  • You can trim a sample start in Slate easily enough, so I can’t see Matt not implementing it for audio at the very least. But, yeah, it should be available for trimming midi clips too.

  • I thought it was just my lack of knowing but guess it’s something that might get looked at st some point.😌

    I just dupe and stack clips, mute one and split the other. Keeps everything fairly well under control.
