The Audio Montage
To create a selection range, proceed as follows:
• Creating a selection range in an empty area on a track is
done by clicking and dragging with the mouse as when
selecting audio in the Wave windows.
• Creating a selection range within a clip is done in the
same way, but the pointer must be in the upper clip area
(the mouse zone to which the “Select range” function is
assigned).
When the pointer is in the “select range” mouse zone, it takes on the
“Selection tool” shape.
• When you drag the mouse to create the selection
range, the start and end position and the length of the
range are displayed in the info line.
• If you double click in the selection range mouse zone, a
selection range is automatically created, spanning the en-
tire clip or the area between the closest markers (if there
are any).
In the latter case, triple clicking will expand the selection range to the en-
tire clip. Furthermore, if you double click and keep the mouse button
pressed, you can drag the mouse to expand the selection range in
“blocks” (clips or marker areas).
• You can resize a selection range by [Shift]-clicking or
dragging its edges, as in the Wave windows.
• As in the Wave windows, you can toggle the selection
range on and off by pressing [Esc].
• To remove (deactivate) a selection range, click else-
where in the Montage.
Moving clips
To move a clip, proceed as follows:
1. If you want to move more than one clip, you need to se-
lect these clips first.
2. Position the pointer over the clip, in the lower clip area
(the mouse zone to which the “Select/Move clip” function
is assigned).
The pointer takes on the shape of a “four-way arrow”.
3. Click and drag the clip(s) in any direction.
When you are moving the clip(s), the info line displays the current start
position of the clip you are dragging.
• The clip(s) will snap to any activated magnetic bounds,
see “Magnetic bounds” on page 151.
• If you move clips sideways, the auto-grouping settings
are taken into account, as described below.
If you move the clip over another track, auto-grouping is temporarily dis-
abled until you release the mouse button.
• If you click on a clip, keep the mouse button pressed
and then press [Shift], movement is restricted to vertical.
This is useful if you want to move a clip to another track without acciden-
tally changing its horizontal position.
• You cannot move mono clips to stereo tracks or vice
versa.
Moving with auto-grouping
There are two options on the Edit view : Options menu
that affect the result when you move clips horizontally:
Track auto-grouping and Global auto-grouping. There are
also separate icons for these options on the toolbar in Edit
view mode:
Track auto-grouping
Global auto-grouping
