Trimming Events

If the flue is operating under negative pressure, which is often the case, care should be taken that no tramp air is allowed to enter the flue upstream of the sampling point, as this will give erroneous measurements. The trim system should be set to follow the practical firing curve and, in the event of a malfunction, be disabled so that it ceases to have any influence on the air/gas ratio, which reverts to the normal load control only. 

Molecular organization is a feature of biological activities and of many biochemical processes, especially in events demanding specificity. Alexander and Trim showed in the 1940s that surface-active molecules, particularly... 

AutoMonitor is implemented mainly in HyperTalk, in HyperCard 1.2. This means that it is a relatively simple matter for any HyperCard programmer to tailor the interaction record generated, to suit individual experimental requirements. This may involve either trimming down the classes of event recorded or extending the record to include actions where HyperCard itself may have been extended, for example the use of non-standard pop-up menus. 

Side air bags upon inflation, deploy into position to cushion a vehicle occupant s head in the event of a side impact. BMW use carbon braid, enabling the bag to shrink in length and expand in diameter, but only braid made on an extremely large braider (e.g. A P megabraider) would satisfy these requirements. The braid tube must permit the bag to condense to a small volume and fit in the door trim and yet permit it to expand to a tubular structure without bursting. 

The Chopper window (see Figure 1.16) is almost a miniature audio editing tool that allows you to trim audio files. It is completely non-destructive, meaning that changes you make in the Chopper do not change the original source file in any way. The Chopper allows you to quickly and accurately select shorter sections of a media file and then insert these sections into a track as events. 

A waveform is a visual representation of a sound file. Waveforms are visible in ACID in events, in the Chopper window, and in the Track Properties window, among other places. Ultimately, editing in ACID is done by ear, but you can make very precise cuts, splits, and trims simply by looking at the peaks and valleys of the waveform picture of a media file or event... 

Slip trimming is performed by pressing the Alt key on yonr keyboard while dragging the edge of an event. Watch for the mouse cursor to change from the regnlar Draw or Paint tool cursor to the special slip trim cursor when the Alt key is pressed. 

The Chopper window is a special tool that is used to perform precise trims of media files and insert the trimmed portion into the timeline. The advantage to using the Chopper to trim events is that you can trim an event in more detail in the Chopper window without zooming in on the project timeline. There are also a number of other tools in the Chopper window that make trimming easier. 

To view the Chopper window, from the View menu, select Chopper or press Alt+2. The Chopper window displays the entire media file of the selected track. Click on a different track to load a different media file into the Chopper. To trim and insert events into the timeline using the Chopper ... 

Extending the event further and then splitting the event between notes can frequently be easier than simply extending an event. Click the event to move the timeline cursor to the split position and press S on your keyboard. Use an Event Fade envelope (ASR) to trim tbe edges of the event more seamlessly, especially if there isn t a clean break between beats 1 and 2. Of course, this particular technique is highly dependent upon finding loops that are suitable, but there are many loops in many different genres that will work. 

Using AQD as your primary loop audio editor has significant advantages. While it isn t formally an audio editing enviromnent, there is no reason why you shouldn t use AQD to trim loops. Ttimming AQD events is a very simple process, and you can listen to the media file and future loop against the destination project. AQD can also be used to determine the all-important tempo of a loop. See the next section for the specific procedure.
