Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in
|
|
either the editor or mixer windows. The default arrangements are as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the <dfn>Editor</dfn> window, the Master bus will always be on top unless
|
|
hidden. Tracks and busses will appear in their initial order, from top to
|
|
bottom. The monitor section (if used) is never visible in the editor window.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the <dfn>Mixer</dfn> window, the tracks and busses will be displayed in
|
|
their initial order, from left to right. The Master bus is always on the far
|
|
right and occupies its own pane, so that it is always visible no matter how
|
|
many other mixer strips are present. If a Monitor section is used, it shows
|
|
up at the right edge of the mixer window; it can also be torn off into a
|
|
separate window.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Reordering Tracks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <dfn>track ordering</dfn> of the Editor and Mixer is
|
|
<dfn>synchronized</dfn>: if a track is reordered in one window, the ordering
|
|
in the other window will follow.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Reordering in the Editor Window</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Reordering is done by selecting the tracks to be moved, then using
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Track > Move Selected Tracks Up</kbd> (shortcut:
|
|
<kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd>) or <kbd class="menu">Track > Move Selected
|
|
Tracks Down</kbd> (shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alternatively, the <a href="@@the-tracks-and-busses-list"><kbd
|
|
class="menu">Tracks & Busses</kbd> panel of the Editor Lists</a> can be
|
|
used, if visible. Here, tracks and busses can be freely dragged-and-dropped
|
|
into any desired order.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Reordering in the Mixer Window</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Within the <a href="@@strips-list">Strips List</a> pane at the top left of the Mixer
|
|
window, tracks and busses can be freely dragged-and-dropped into any desired
|
|
order.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>"Collecting" Group Members</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they
|
|
display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows, by <kbd
|
|
class=mouse>Right</kbd>-clicking on the group tab and choosing <kbd
|
|
class="menu">Collect</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Ordering of New Tracks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When <a href="@@adding-tracks-busses-and-vcas">adding new tracks</a>, the
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Insert:</kbd> field allows to determine their placement.
|
|
New tracks will be placed <em>Last</em> by default, so 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, regardless of the choice.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="note">
|
|
Because new tracks are automatically selected, they can be quickly reordered
|
|
in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Track Ordering and Remote Control IDs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Every track and bus in Ardour is assigned a <dfn>remote control ID</dfn>.
|
|
When a <a href="@@control-surfaces">control surface</a> or any other
|
|
remote control is used to control Ardour, these IDs are used to identify
|
|
which track(s) or buss(es) are the intended target of incoming commands.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Remote IDs are assigned to tracks and busses in the order that they appear in
|
|
the mixer window from left to right, starting from #1; manual assignment of
|
|
remote IDs is not possible. The master bus and monitor section can be
|
|
accessed by name.
|
|
