The Trim tool in the Tempo Editor is used to adjust a selected range of tempo events by changing their values and/or positions. You can scale the tempo values in that block, multiplying each BPM by a constant factor to make the whole section faster or slower. You can also apply a linear ramp, which creates a gradual speed-up or slow-down across the range, producing a smooth tempo transition. Finally, you can move the tempo events along the timeline, shifting their positions so the tempo points occur earlier or later without changing their BPM values. The other options don’t fit because changing the key signature or the audio sample rate doesn’t affect tempo events, and adding a new tempo event is not trimming existing ones.
