Using regions

Regions identify ranges of time and provide a way to subdivide an audio file. A region is defined as the area between two region tags. Regions can function as time selections that can be saved with the file. For example, regions can be used to indicate sections of projects such as choruses or verses, or they can be used to make notes in the project. You can also add regions to the Playlist and use regions to create new files.

The Regions List window contains all of the regions and markers that exist in the active data window.

Inserting regions

You can use multiple methods of inserting regions including a menu command, drag-and-drop operations, a time ruler shortcut, and a keyboard shortcut. The following sections briefly describe the methods of creating regions. To work through these procedures, use the Fill.pca file. This file is located in the same folder as the application.
