What happens when you delete a clip from between two existing clips in Shuffle mode? (pg 182)
What happens when you do the same thing in Slip mode?
The subsequent clips on the track will snap to the clip previous to the deleted clip, and fill in the space. While with slip mode, the clips stay where they are, leaving a gap between the clips.
What happens when you move a clip whose start point falls between Grid lines in Absolute Grid mode?
What happens when you do the same thing in Relative Grid mode? (pg 183)
Absolute Grid mode: the clip will snap to the start of the grid.
Relative Grid mode: the clip will move in grid increments, preserving its offset from the grid.
(So for instance, if your clip is one beat long and is on beat three of the bar and your grid is set to bars, moving the clip to the next bar will snap it to beat three in Relative Grid Mode, whereas in Absolute Grid Mode it would snap to the first beat of the bar.)
