<a href="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">Track Groups</a> have
|
|
a property titled <kbd class="option">Select</kbd> which, if enabled, cause
|
|
Ardour to propagate a region selection in one track of a group to the
|
|
<dfn>corresponding regions</dfn> of the other tracks in that group.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, let's assume you have used multiple microphones to record a
|
|
drum kit to multiple tracks. You have created a track group, added all the
|
|
drum tracks, enabled the group and enabled the Select property for the group.
|
|
When you select a region in one of the drum tracks, Ardour will select the
|
|
corresponding region in every other drum track, which in turn means that a
|
|
subsequent edit operation will affect all the drum tracks together.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>How Ardour Decides Which Regions are "Corresponding"</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Regions in different tracks are considered to be corresponding for the purposes
|
|
of sharing <dfn>selection</dfn> if they satisfy <em>all</em> the following criteria:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Each region starts at the <dfn>same offset</dfn> within its source file,</li>
|
|
<li>each region is located at the <dfn>same position</dfn> on the timeline, and</li>
|
|
<li>each region has the <dfn>same length</dfn>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Overlap Correspondence</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sometimes, the rules outlined above are too strict to get Ardour to do what you
|
|
want. Regions may have been trimmed to slightly different lengths, or positioned
|
|
slightly differently, and this will cause Ardour to not select regions in other
|
|
grouped tracks.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this case, change
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences > Editor > Regions in
|
|
active edit groups are edited together:</kbd> to <kbd
|
|
class="menu">whenever they overlap in time</kbd>. With this option enabled, r
|
|
egions in different tracks will be considered equivalent for the purposes of selection if they
|
|
<dfn>overlap</dfn>. This is much more flexible and will cover almost all of the
|
|
cases that the fixed rules above might make cumbersome.
