title: Waveform display
---
<p>
The display of <dfn>waveforms</dfn> (or, more correctly, <dfn>peak
envelopes</dfn>, since the actual waveform is only visible at the highest
zoom levels) is configurable via the <kbd
class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; Editor</kbd> dialog, to support
different usecases and user preferences. The following options are
available:
</p>
<dl class="wide-table">
<dt>Show waveforms in regions</dt>
<dd>By default, Ardour draws waveforms within audio regions. Disable this
option hide them.</dd>
<dt>Waveform scale</dt>
<dd>
<dl>
<dt>Linear</dt>
<dd>This is the traditional <dfn>linear</dfn> (1:1) display of the
peak envelope, or, at higher zoom levels, the individual samples.</dd>
<dt>Logarithmic</dt>
<dd>Alternatively, you can use a <dfn>logarithmic</dfn> display of the
peak envelope. This will give you a better idea of program loudness (it is similar
to dBs) and plot soft passages more clearly, which is useful for soft
recordings or small track height.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt>Waveform shape</dt>
<dd>
<dl>
<dt>Traditional</dt>
<dd>The <dfn>zero</dfn> line appears in the middle of the display and waveforms
appear as positive and negative peaks above <em>and</em> below.</dd>
<dt>Rectified</dt>
<dd>The zero line appears at the bottom of the display and waveforms appear
as absolute peaks <em>above</em> the line only.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>

title: Reordering Tracks
---
<p>
The <dfn>track ordering</dfn> of the Editor and Mixer is <dfn>synchronized</dfn>: if you
reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will follow.
</p>
<h2>Reordering in the Editor Window</h2>
<p>
Select the tracks you want to move. Then use<br />
<kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Move Selected Tracks Up</kbd>
(shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">&uarr;</kbd>) or<br />
<kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Move Selected Tracks Down</kbd>
(shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">&darr;</kbd>).
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can use the <kbd class="menu">Tracks &amp; Busses</kbd>
panel of the
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/editor-lists/">Editor
Lists</a>, if visible.
Here, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer.
</p>
<h2>Reordering in the Mixer Window</h2>
<p>
Within the <kbd class="menu">Strips</kbd> pane at the top left of the
Mixer window, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any
desired order.
</p>
<h2>"Collecting" Group Members</h2>
<p>
Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they
display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows. Context-click on
the group tab and choose <kbd class="menu">Collect</kbd>.
</p>
<h2>Ordering of New Tracks</h2>
<p>
When <dfn>adding new tracks</dfn>, the current selection determines their
placement. New tracks will be placed after the rightmost (in the mixer) or
bottom-most (in the editor) selected track. If no tracks are selected, new
tracks will be added at the end.
</p>
<p class="note">
Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them
in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them (see above).
