Additionally, you can change the way the grid operates by changing it to view time in divisions of samples instead of bars and beats. You can also change the way the grid operates based on a predetermined conductor track that allows for tempo and meter changes. You can change the grid to operate within every musical division of time, such as, whole note, half note, quarter note and so on. This mode is based on a musical tempo system. When using Pro Tools for electronic music production and when recording live music to a click track. Grid mode is quite possibly the most useful edit mode in the program. It will also automatically place regions right against each other when they are moved.

Shuffle mode works almost the same way as slip, but when you move one region over the other it will move the adjacent regions forwards in time thus changing the timing of the whole session. In slip mode you can overlap different regions without changing the timing of the session. You can overlap different regions and move stereo tracks in and out of phase with each other. When in slip mode, you are able move waveforms freely backwards and forward through the timeline. You can cycle through the different modes by hitting F1, F2, F3, and F4. There are four different edit modes available that changes the way the timeline operates in the edit window. We will take a look at what each of these buttons do. It also gives access to some MIDI and sync functions of well. The edit toolbar gives access to most of the editing modes and tools used in Pro Tools.
