|
|
<em>Editor</em> window. The <em>Editor</em> window is the most important window in Ardour, as
|
|
this is where you arrange track, import and edit media on the timeline, and
|
|
control plugin automation for creative effects and mixing.</p><p>Let’s take a look at main parts of the <em>Editor</em> window:</p><figure><img src=en/editor-window-sections.png alt="Editor window sections"></figure><p>Here they are:</p><ol><li>Editor-specific toolbar</li><li>Timeline</li><li>Tracks and busses</li><li>Project overview</li><li>Editor mixer strip</li><li>Regions, Tracks/Busses, Snapshots, Groups, Ranges, Marks</li></ol><p>Let’s overview them quickly.</p><h2 id=editor-specific-toolbar>Editor-specific toolbar</h2><h3 id=edit-modes-and-cursor-modes>Edit Modes and Cursor Modes</h3><p><img src=en/ardour7-edit-modes-cursor-modes.png alt="Edit Modes"></p><p>The <em>Edit Modes</em> and <em>Cursor Modes</em> controls define the behavior of the main
|
|
canvas and the different functions the cursor can have. There are three edit
|
|
modes in the drop-down menu: <em>Slide</em>, <em>Ripple</em>, and <em>Lock</em>. We will discuss them
|
|
in the <a href=../../../editing-sessions/>Editing sessions</a> chapter.</p><p>To the right of the <strong>Smart</strong> button are the <em>Cursor Modes</em>:</p><ul><li><em>Smart</em> mode (<strong>Y</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Grab</em> mode (<strong>G</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Range</em> mode (<strong>R</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Cut</em> mode (<strong>C</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Stretch</em> mode (<strong>T</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Audition</em> mode</li><li><em>Draw</em> mode (<strong>D</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Internal Edit</em> mode (<strong>E</strong> shortcut)</li></ul><p>Most of them are discussed in the <a href=../../../editing-sessions/working-with-regions/>Working With
|
|
Regions</a> section. The last two
|
|
are discussed in the <strong>Using Automation</strong> chapter.</p><p>The <em>Smart</em> mode is actually a combination of <em>Grab</em> mode and <em>Range</em> mode. When
|
|
enabled, the mouse behaves as if it is in <em>Range</em> mode in the upper half of a
|
|
region, and in <em>Grab</em> mode in the lower half.</p><h3 id=snap-options>Snap Options</h3><p><img src=en/ardour7-snap-options-and-nudge-controls.png alt=Snap></p><p>The <em>Snap Options</em> toolbar allows selecting visible grid units that affect
|
|
snapping when editing regions and, in case of MIDI regions, their contents.</p><p>Here is a comparison between 1 bar grid, 1/8 note grid and 1/32 note grid:</p><p><img src=en/ardour7-snapping-1-bar-to-1-32-note.png alt="1-bar grid, 1/8 note and 1/32 note grid"></p><p>Please see the sections on
|
|
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/setting-up-the-meter/>Setting Up the Meter</a>,
|
|
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/using-ranges/>Using Ranges</a> and
|
|
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/working-with-regions/>Working With Regions</a> for more
|
|
details.</p><h3 id=track-view-and-zoom-options>Track View and Zoom Options</h3><p><img src=en/ardour7-view-and-zoom-options.png alt="Zoom Options"></p><p>The far right part of the toolbar has track view and zoom options.</p><p>Track view options allow selecting how many tracks to display at the same time,
|
|
and you can also shrink or expand the vertical zoom of selected tracks and
|
|
busses.</p><p>Zoom options allow incrementally zooming in and out, as well as zooming out to
|
|
show the entire project horizontally.</p><div class="notices tip"><p>Use the shortcuts <strong>=</strong> (the equal sign on your main keyboard) for zooming, and
|
|
<strong>-</strong> (the dash key on your main keyboard) for zooming out.</p></div><p>The drop-down menu controls the <em>zoom focus</em>. It defines the focus point of
|
|
zooming operations. Try zooming in and out with a different zoom focus each
|
|
time. For example, choosing <em>Playhead</em> will cause zoom to behave in relation to
|
|
the position of the <em>Playhead</em>. <em>Mouse</em> will take your current mouse position as
|
|
the reference, and so on.</p><h2 id=timeline>Timeline</h2><p>Right-click on the names of rulers and you will see a menu with all the possible
|
|
rulers at your disposition. You may uncheck rulers that you don’t need in order
|
|
to save screen space. More information on these operations can be found in the
|
|
