Remove blank bars from beginning of song • RESOLVED
Hey guys cannot remember how to do this. I have a song that starts at bar 32. Nothing before that, just blank bars. How do I cut time so the whole song starts at bar 1 or 2 ? In Protools there is a function to "cut time". Does DP have that , thanks !

Re: Remove blank bars from beginning of song
HCMarkus nailed it so I will add a supplemental note.
Be very careful to mind your conductor track data when doing this.
I would also advise making a duplicate backup of your sequence before doing this.
DP, for years, has been a little spotty on performing Conductor Track operations with 100% reliability. Usually it's fine but I'll typically just copy/paste the current sequence in the chunks window (not duplicate sequence, they don't do the same thing) so I can go running back to the unaffected original if need be.
One of the issues to look out for is DP creating incomplete bars in the timeline. That can really screw things up. It doesn't happen that often. Unless I'm doing a lot of Conductor edits, that is lol.
