Ableton Forum

Greets:
I am getting to grips with Ableton Live 12 on the Mac. It's been awhile since I've used it, so brushing up.

I have some field recordings where I want to get rid of some noise at the beginning of the audio clips. I'm able to select the clip portion I want to delete, press the Delete button on my Apple keyboard, done.

I understand there's another way where, when I delete the clip, will advance the rest of the clip to the beginning, instead of me having to select and drag the clip. I tried both Shift-Delete and Cmd-Delete, and neither responded. But when I hit Delete, again, the selection was removed.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the keyboard shortcut is different. I'd appreciate some guidance.

Thanks!

In Windows, the function you expect can be achieved by holding down Ctrl and Shift and pressing Delete.
Maybe you can try other key combinations with Delete?

YRDJDKF is right, and in typical fashion with Mac VS PC shortcuts you replace Control with the Command shortcut, so Shift Command Delete. It doesn't work on clips in the Session View though, only in the Arrangement View.
