|
|
Tracks.</p><p>The Range tool (shortcut “<em>R</em>”) is located just below the
|
|
Transport Menu in the Edit Window.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Range_Tool.png alt="Range Tool"></p><p>When you have selected the Range tool, your mouse pointer will look like a vertical line.</p><p>It can be useful to create Range selections that align with the edges of
|
|
regions on your Timeline. Selecting the “<em>Grid</em>” and “<em>Region bounds</em>”
|
|
items for Grid and Grid Point menus respectively makes this easy.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Grid_Region_Bounds.png alt="Region Bounds"></p><p>To make a Range selection, drag anywhere on the Timeline. The current
|
|
Grid and Grid Point options determine exactly how the Range selection
|
|
behaves. Once a Range has been selected, Right-Clicking on it opens a
|
|
menu with Range-specific operations.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Range_Selection_and_Menu.png alt="Range selection"></p><p><strong>Loop range</strong>, for example, sets up <strong>Loop Markers</strong> around the current
|
|
Range and begins looped playback. The <strong>Loop Start</strong> and <strong>Loop End</strong>
|
|
points can be changed by moving the green triangles which correspond to
|
|
each point.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Range_Loop.png alt="Range Loop"></p><p>Other useful options here for editing allow you to <strong>Duplicate</strong> the
|
|
Range, <strong>Select All</strong> within the Range or <strong>Crop</strong> the Range.</p><h2 id=setting-up-a-loop>Setting Up a Loop</h2><p>Returning to our rhythmic passage example, we will want to hear the
|
|
passage we are composing, perhaps as a loop, while we are moving the
|
|
samples around. To do that, we must create a Range to listen to within
|
|
our session, so that we can return to exactly this point in the Session
|
|
again and again.</p><p>Zoom out if needed (shortcut “<em>-</em>”) to see full bars in the timeline.
|
|
Use the Range tool to select an entire bar with the help of the Grid
|
|
settings, and right-click inside that range to “<em>Set loop from
|
|
selection</em>”. You will probably want to set the <strong>Grid</strong> so that your
|
|
actions snap to certain metric elements of the session (for example,
|
|
snapping to <strong>Beats</strong>). Once the one-bar loop has been set up, the
|
|
screen will look like this:</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Range_Bar_Loop.png alt="Bar Loop"></p><p>This will set up a loop range which you can play by using the <strong>Play
|
|
Loop</strong> button in the <strong>Transport Menu</strong> at the very top of the Editor
|
|
Window (shortcut: “<em>L</em>”). While the Range is looping, you can use the
|
|
<strong>Solo</strong> button on each track to listen to each instrument individually.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Range_One_Bar_Loop_Solo.png alt="Loop Solo"></p><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>In the next step, we will learn about <strong>Working With Regions</strong> to
|
|
compose a rhythm with these samples.</p><p>Next: <a href=../working-with-regions>WORKING WITH REGIONS</a></p><footer class=footline></footer></div></div><div id=navigation></div></section><div style=left:-1000px;overflow:scroll;position:absolute;top:-1000px;border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px><div style=border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px></div></div><script src=/js/clipboard.min.js?1647857209></script>
