<h2>Adding tracks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's possible to add tracks in the <dfn>Cue</dfn> window the usual way,
|
|
either by double-clicking on the free space in the canvas or
|
|
by choosing the <kbd class="menu">Track > Add Track, Bus, or VCA</kbd>
|
|
menu item. The important part is to enable the
|
|
<kbd class="option">Show on Cue Page</kbd> checkbox in the newly
|
|
opened dialog.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alternatively, it's possible to drop an existing audio or MIDI file into
|
|
the empty part of the canvas to automatically create the cue track
|
|
and fill the first empty trigger slot with it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Trigger slots not only work as a drag-and-drop target, they also
|
|
work as a drag-and-drop sources. It's possible to drag the contents
|
|
of an existing trigger slot into the empty part of the canvas to create
|
|
a new track and fill the first slot with the contents of the original
|
|
slot. It's also possible to drag and drop the contents of one slot into
|
|
another in case you want to use the same clip with some variations
|
|
(e.g. a custom follow length).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Loading clips to slots</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are several ways to load a clip into a trigger slot:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From right click menu: right-click over a trigger slot, choose
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Load</kbd>, select an audio or a MIDI file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From <dfn>Clip Properties</dfn> box: click the
|
|
<kbd class="button">Load</kbd> button, select an audio or a MIDI file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From the <dfn>Clips</dfn> library: choose an audio or a MIDI file,
|
|
listen to it before adding, then pick, drag towards the grid and drop
|
|
into a trigger slot.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From the <dfn>Regions</dfn> list: choose a region, drag it towards
|
|
the grid and drop it into a trigger slot.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From the timeline: select a region, right-click, choose
|
|
<kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (with processing)</kbd> or
|
|
<kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (without processing)</kbd>,
|
|
then enable the <kbd class="option">Bounce to Trigger Slot</kbd> checkbox
|
|
and choose the cue.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Using bounce to create and name new clips will keep the
|
|
Cue Track title and Cue Clip names easily recognizable.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The type of data must match the type of tracks a clip is being inserted to.
|
|
E.g. it's impossible to place a MIDI clip into a trigger slot of an audio
|
|
track.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Clearing trigger slots</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are two ways to remove an assigned clip from a selected trigger slot:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pressing <kbd class="button">Delete</kbd> or
|
|
<kbd class="button">Backspace</kbd>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-clicking on the trigger slot and selecting
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Clear</kbd> in the menu.
|

|
</ol>
