    • To Selection [Alt/Opt-Shift-V] Pastes audio from the clipboard only within the selection bounds, regardless of the copied audio’s length. If the copied audio is longer than the new selection, the audio will be cropped to fit. If the selection is longer than the audio being pasted, silence will be inserted to fill the remaining space.

  • Select Harmonics [Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-H] Refines the current selection to include more harmonics. For this feature to work well, try it with a simple selection that includes only the fundamental harmonic of what you are trying to select. You can also use the Magic Wand tool to automatically refine a selection to include the appropriate harmonics.
  • Begin Selection at Playhead [Left Bracket] during playback only If audio is currently selected, this will automatically adjust the selection to begin at the current playback position.
  • End Selection at Playhead [Right Bracket] during playback only Automatically create a selection between the current playhead position and the original anchor playhead position.
