15.0 Editing Tools & Modes

Edit Modes

There are 4 different editing modes when moving regions: Slide, Splice, Lock and Ripple. The edit mode selector is to the far left, directly underneath the transport controls. Slide allows arbitrary movement. Splice allows regions to be swapped with each other, retaining the original starting points. Lock allows trimming, fades and track shuffling, but does not allow the region to be moved in time. In Ripple mode, changes to a region are “rippled” to other regions on that track in the future. Moving, trimming, and deleting regions will slip the regions later in time accord- ingly. In addition, there are multiple Grid (snap) options which are described below.

Editing Tools

The Edit Tools bar allows selection between several different editing tools. Each tool also has an associated shortcut key, and can be changed via the "Edit->Editing Modes->Mouse Mode" menu.

Object Tool

The Object tool allows editing of object properties on audio regions such as position, length, and fade in/out. The object tool also allows manipulation of automation control points in fader or plug-in automation. Just a few of the operations of the Object tool include:

•Click on a region to select it for editing, or drag a region to move it.

•Click inside the colored bar of a region to trim the start or end points.

•Click on a regions fade-in or fade-out handle to adjust the fade length.

•Click inside an automation track to edit the automation data.

•Drag on a region to define a range of automation.

See “Object (Region) Editing" (below) for more details on the Object tool. If the "Smart" button is selected, then the Object tool also gains many features of the Range tool; see "Smart Editing" for more details.

Range Tool

The Range tool allows the user to select and drag across a range of time. The time-range can span across multiple tracks and regions, as if the range were a contiguous piece of audio tape. Tracks that are selected in the current range are highlighted blue in the edit window. You can add or remove tracks to the selection by clicking with the mouse.

• Drag across a range of time to create a contiguous selection.

• Click the boxes in each corner of the selection to lengthen or shorten each end of the selection

• Right-click on the selection to launch a menu that allows looping, bouncing, exporting, consolidating, or analyzing the selection.

• Use the functions in the Edit menu to cut/copy/paste or otherwise manipulate the selection.

Zoom Tool

The Zoom tool allows the user to zoom in and out on the timeline.

•Drag across a range of time to zoom-in to fill the edit screen with the time range.

•Click to zoom in on the selected point on the timeline.

•Middle-click to zoom out on the selected timeline.

%Note: Zooming can also be controlled with the View menu or the mouse-wheel, see the section on Key short- cuts.
