A
useful
way
to
edit
a
clip
to
where
the
very
rst
sound
is
heard
is
using
Tab

Transients.
The
bucon
looks
like
this:
and
when
it
is
pressed
down
(blue)
you
can
use
the
tab
key
to
tab
between
waveform
peaks.
This
allows
you
to
easily
nd
where
a
sound
starts.
Where
this
occurs
is
called
the
transient.
Therefore
this
funcGon
is
called
Tab
to
Transients.
Press
Ctrl
(Command)
+
Tab
to
go
back
to
the
previous
transient
and
hold
Shie
to
select
as
you
go.
Use
the
Tab
to
Transients
funcGon
to
nd
the
rst
transient
on
the
Drums
track
aeer
the
silence.
Then
add
a
Memory
LocaGon
at
this
point
and
label
it
Drum
Start.
Do the same for the Guitar track and label the Memory LocaGon Guitar Start.
