|
|
<em>Editor</em> window. The <em>Editor</em> window is the most important window in Ardour, as
|
|
this is how you will control the program as well as see and edit the audio and
|
|
MIDI data you have recorded or imported.</p><p>Let’s take a look at main parts of the Editor 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/Ardour6_Edit_Modes_Cursor_Modes.png alt="Edit Modes"></p><p>TODO RIPPLE ALL + MODES</p><p>The <strong>Edit Modes</strong> and <strong>Cursor Modes</strong> 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: <strong>Slide</strong>, <strong>Ripple</strong>, and <strong>Lock</strong>. To the right
|
|
of the Smart button are the Cursor Modes:</p><ul><li><em>Smart</em> mode (shortcut <strong>Y</strong>)</li><li><em>Grab</em> mode (shortcut <strong>G</strong>)</li><li><em>Range</em> mode (shortcut <strong>R</strong>)</li><li><em>Cut</em> mode (shortcut <strong>C</strong>)</li><li><em>Stretch</em> mode (shortcut <strong>T</strong>)</li><li><em>Audition</em> mode</li><li><em>Draw</em> mode (shortcut <strong>D</strong>)</li><li><em>Internal Edit</em> mode (shortcut <strong>E</strong>)</li></ul><p>Most of them are discussed in the [Working With
|
|
Regions]](en/editing-sessions/working-with-regions/) chapter. The last two are
|
|
discussed in the <strong>Using Automation</strong> chapter.</p><p>The <strong>Smart Mode</strong> is actually a combination of Grab Mode and Range Mode. When
|
|
enabled, the mouse behaves as if it is in “Range Mode” in the upper half of a
|
|
region, and in “Grab Mode” in the lower half.</p><h3 id=snap-options>Snap Options</h3><p><img src=en/Ardour6_Snap_Options_and_Nudge_Controls.png alt=Snap></p><p>The <strong>Snap Options</strong> menu controls the <strong>Grid</strong>, <strong>Grid Points</strong> and
|
|
<strong>Edit Point</strong>. Please see the chapters on <strong>Setting Up the Meter</strong>,
|
|
<strong>Using Ranges</strong> and <strong>Working With Regions</strong> for more details.</p><h3 id=zoom-options>Zoom Options</h3><p><img src=en/Ardour6_Zoom_Options.png alt="Zoom Options"></p><p>In between <strong>Cursor Modes</strong> and <strong>Snap Options</strong> are the <strong>Zoom
|
|
Options</strong>. Here you can define the behavior of zooming operations. You
|
|
have standard <strong>Zoom In</strong> and <strong>Zoom Out</strong> buttons, plus a third called
|
|
<strong>Zoom to Session</strong> (useful for having a quick overview of your entire
|
|
session: it zooms it to fit the available space on the screen).</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 <strong>Zoom Focus</strong>. It defines the focus
|
|
point of zooming operations. Try zooming in and out
|
|
with a different Zoom Focus each time. For example, choosing Playhead
|
|
will cause zoom to behave in relation to the position of the
|
|
Playhead. Mouse will take your current mouse position as the reference,
|
|
and so on.</p><p>The following drop-down menu and the last two buttons control “vertical zoom.” They allow you to
|
|
expand and shrink all tracks and busses vertically. Use the drop-down menu to choose a specific number of tracks you want to fit on the screen. Use the buttons to shrink or expand all tracks (or only selected tracks, if a selection is made).</p><h3 id=auxiliary-controls>Auxiliary Controls</h3><p>For further information on other buttons and displays on the main
|
|
interface, please refer to the <a href=http://manual.ardour.org/ title="Ardour Manual">Ardour Manual</a>.</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

|
|
example below, you can see one Bus called “<em>Master</em>” and one Track
|
|
called “<em>MyTrack</em>”. MyTrack also contains one region, which
|
|
represents an audio file with a drawing of its waveform. More

the <strong>Mixer Strip</strong> of the currently selected Track or Bus. It controls
|
|
the volume, Plugins and Routing for the Track or Bus to which it
|
|
corresponds. You can toggle to view or hide the Editor Mixer by clicking

|
|
functions, depending on which tab is currently selected: <strong>Regions</strong>,
|
|
<strong>Tracks/Busses</strong>, <strong>Snapshots</strong>, <strong>Track & Bus Groups</strong>, and <strong>Ranges
|
|
and Marks</strong>. Regions is the tab selected by default. This part of the
|
|
Editor Window is commonly referred to as <strong>Regions List</strong>. Regions
|
|
represent audio files stored on the hard drive which can be dragged from
|
|
the Regions List directly onto a track in the main canvas. More
|
|
information on Regions can be found in the <strong>Working With Regions</strong>
|
|
chapter. The Tracks tab is covered in the <strong>Arranging Tracks</strong> chapter,
|
|
and Snapshots are discussed in the <strong>Saving Snapshots</strong> chapter.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour6_Region_List.png alt="Region List"></p><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Next up is the <em>Mixer</em> window where you control…</p><p>Next: <a href=../mixer-window>Mixer window</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=/ardour-tutorial/js/clipboard.min.js?1648241958></script>
