+ The display of waveforms (or, more correctly, peak + envelopes, since the actual waveform is only visible at the highest + zoom levels) is configurable via the Edit > Preferences > Editor dialog, to support + different usecases and user preferences. The following options are + available: +

+
+
Show waveforms in regions
+
By default, Ardour draws waveforms within audio regions. Disable this + option hide them.
+
Waveform scale
+
+
+
Linear
+
This is the traditional linear (1:1) display of the + peak envelope, or, at higher zoom levels, the individual samples.
+
Logarithmic
+
Alternatively, you can use a logarithmic 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.
+
+
+
Waveform shape
+
+
+
Traditional
+
The zero line appears in the middle of the display and waveforms + appear as positive and negative peaks above and below.
+
Rectified
+
The zero line appears at the bottom of the display and waveforms appear + as absolute peaks above the line only.

+ The track ordering of the Editor and Mixer is synchronized: if you + reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will follow. +

+ +

Reordering in the Editor Window

+

+ Select the tracks you want to move. Then use
+ Track > Move Selected Tracks Up + (shortcut: ↑) or
+ Track > Move Selected Tracks Down + (shortcut: ↓). +

+

+ Alternatively, you can use the Tracks & Busses + panel of the + Editor + Lists, if visible. + Here, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer. +

+ +

Reordering in the Mixer Window

+

+ Within the Strips pane at the top left of the + Mixer window, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any + desired order. +

+ +

"Collecting" Group Members

+

+ 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 Collect. +

+ +

Ordering of New Tracks

+

+ When adding new tracks, 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. +

+

+ Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them + in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them (see above). +
