Four new editing tools

Document Actions
The DP5 tool bar contains four new audio editing tools to speed up your edits: Trim, Slip, Slide and Roll.

Trim

Trim lets you drag the edge of an audio region. This feature was available in earlier versions of DP, but now it can be explicitly invoked with the new tool in the tool bar. This allows you to trim audio regions more quickly by clicking somewhere inside the audio region, rather than having to find and drag the edge, which may be offscreen.

Slip

The Slip tool allows you to move the waveform inside an audio clip earlier or later without affecting the left or right edge of the audio region.

Slide

The Slide tool does the opposite of Slip: it allows users to move the edges of the audio region earlier or later by the same amount in one drag operation while the audio inside the clip remains anchored to its current position in time.

Roll

The Roll tool allows users to drag the border between two adjacent audio regions in one operation, "covering up" a portion of one region while "uncovering" the other.
