Hi JP, Sorry for the delayed response, I originally saw your message while I was out of town.
This aspect of extending or retracting the boundaries of regions is not specific to Pro Tools. All DAWs have this capability. When audio is recorded, a waveform is graphically represented in a region, sometimes called a clip. Think of it as a piece of tape. However, this tape can be edited non-destructively. There's always a copy of the original unless that original region is deleted from the session. Once a region is recorded, it can be split into several pieces, cut, copied and pasted. All of the cuts and pasted pieces of audio are just references to the original recorded region. If you record one minute of audio and then delete the first twenty seconds and the last twenty seconds of audio from the region, you'll have the middle twenty secondes of audio in your timeline but that doesn't mean the other audio is gone. What you've done is eliminated the waveforms. By moving the left side and right side boundaries of the region, you can reveal the underlying audio. There are a number of keyboard shortcuts to accomplish this which I won't define here because this would become an incredibly long post. There are other resources for learning the shortcuts, not to mention, they're listed in the shortcuts pdf and are described in the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
