In the track pane view, what im trying to do is select more then 4 tracks, and just grab the end of the events and shorten them rather i have the snap on or off, that way i dont have to do it one by one, :: I have tried holding shift then highlight 6 tracks and just trim the end ( NOt The volumes or fade outs) the actual track itself is what im trying to make shorter at the end of the song.
I have also tried holding down the CTRL & SHIFT keys amd the CTRL & ALT keys and even all 3, nothing is working can someone please help on this simple task

Hi. You should be able to shorten the clips by simply dragging the end of one of the clips, after selecting them.
Make sure you use the correct tool for it. Smart Tool is by default "F5".
Hover your mouse over the edge of the clips(s) until the arrow changes to a double sided arrow, with a line between them. You should then be able to shorten the clip.
Hope it helps.
All the best.

I think the op is wishing to do this to multiple tracks , I just tried it and only the one track slips. So I think you just have to do them one track at a time. 
The other option is to insert a "SPLIT" to the multiple tracks and delete the unwanted part to the right.

I have done this repeatedly when shrinking clips from "recorded clips", to "mixing clips". Several clips at a time.
Works like a charm for me.

Yeah, I confirm Kens post.  Let me have a go...
 
Wiz, it would be easier to first stack the desired track together (if not already done so), then click on the first track in your desired stack and while holding down the Shift key, click on the last desired track in the stack (make sure the clips in the desired tracks are now highlighted.  You may have to double click on the last desired track for all of them to be selected).  They all the desired tracks should now be selected. Now, just for insurance sake, group the clips together (I don't think this is absolutely necessary but it might be helpful).  Now go to the end of one of the grouped (desired) clips and move, slide, roll, edit as desired and all other grouped clips will follow.
 
One question, however, do all the desired tracks end at the same time?  If not, then the above method may not have the desired effect since slipping the end of the clips will only affect the clips that end the same time until you reach any other clips that end earlier in the timeline.  So, if you have clips with different end times, focus on the clip that ends last.  Unfortunately, only that clip will change until you reach the ends of the earlier clips.  Note that if you want to extend (roll/slip) out the length of the clips (to the right in the timeline) then you will need to focus on the one clip with an ending earlier than the rest.
 
Let us know if that works for you.
 
Kind regards,
