Trimming a clip to reveal pre-existing audio

[Alex Coleman]

Can someone remind me how to recover audio in a clip, if accidently
tracked over?
For example, if I am patching in to retake a particular vocal phrase
and inadvertently overwrite the head of the next adjacent clip, how
can I trim back the head of the overwritten clip in order to regain
the original audio underneath?
Hopefully this makes at least a little bit of sense.
Thanks for any pointers you can share.

Select the clip whose beginning was overwritten. To move the left boundary of the clip to the left (or earlier to reveal more of the clip as it was previously), press Option minus on the numeric keypad. This will adjust it by the nudge value so be sure to use a nudge value of more than a millisecond or 10 milliseconds. You'll probably want to use at least 100 milliseconds or 500 milliseconds. If you go too far, use Option and the plus key on the num pad. To do the same with the right side of the clip, use the Command modifier instead.
HTH,

One more quick tip: make sure you're in Slip mode (f2) or else your clip will shuffle along with the increase in the length. slip mode will maintain its position and extend its beginning in whichever direction you execute.
