Video Transcript

"When using the midi data, you can also do certain things, the same way you do it to the audio. Like if you have an audio file and you're able to make a bunch of different regions, things like that, you can just turn them into blocks so you don't have to view the actual files and you can just use the blocks and rearrange them within your track. This is good, especially if you're making loops and things like that. So if I have something like this and you know, I have just this loop right here, I can turn the view into blocks and make sure I'm just messing with just the block. So I could take this part out, maybe move it down here. So now I know that this block is my data and then I can duplicate this data, undo it, as well as copying and pasting this data, using the control C and the control V buttons. And then I can switch it back just to see what I have in here and it's just working with this one piece."
