title: Selecting Tracks

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tracks are <dfn>selected</dfn> by clicking on the Track header at the left
|
|
of the Editor window. You can select multiple tracks with <kbd class="mod1
|
|
mouse">Left</kbd> clicks, or a range of consecutive tracks with <kbd
|
|
class="mod3 mouse">Left</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, <dfn>selecting regions</dfn> has no impact on
|
|
<dfn>track selection</dfn>.
|
|
You can select a track, then select a region in another track
|
|
(or vice versa) and both selections will co-exist happily.
|
|
Operations that are applied to tracks will use the track selection,
|
|
and those that apply to regions will use the region selection.
|
|
Similarly, deselecting a region will not deselect the track it
|
|
is in (if that track was selected).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In some workflows, and particularly if you have experience with
|
|
other <abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr>s, this
|
|
is not the most comfortable way to work. You may prefer to work
|
|
in a style where selecting a region will also select the track
|
|
that the region is in. Similarly, when the last selected region
|
|
in a track is deselected, the track will also become unselected.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To control this behaviour, set <kbd class="menu">Edit >
|
|
Preferences > Editor > Link selection of regions and tracks</kbd>.
