--- layout: default title: Common Region Editing Operations ---

This section covers a set of region editing operations that you will likely use again and again while working on a session. Depending on your working habits (and experience of other DAWs) some of them will be critical while others may be more rarely used.

All of these operations can be carried out from the keyboard. Default keybindings can be found in the list. Equivalent operations can be done with mouse in most cases.

You may want to review your understanding of the edit point/range and which regions will be affected by region operations.
