In certain cases, you may end up with long Parts having sections containing no Events. For example, you may have recorded a MIDI Part to a Song in real time, playing in certain places and not playing in other places, but recording it as a continuous take. The resulting Part will have “empty” sections, containing no Events. The Optimize Arrangement operation will automatically cut and resize Parts so that all empty sections are removed, thereby “tidying up” the Arrangement.
P For Audio Tracks, remember that silence in a recording is part of the Audio Event, and that Optimize Arrangement will only cut portions of Parts not containing any Events. See page 386 for information on how to delete silence from Audio Files.
1. Select the Track or Part(s) you want to Optimize.If you want to Optimize the complete Arrangement, select all Parts.
2. Select “Optimize Arrangement” from the Structure menu.
A warning that the operation can’t be undone appears.
3. Click “Continue”.
Now all sections of Parts containing a Bar (or more) without Events will have been cut out and removed.
