<p>
This section covers a set of <dfn>region editing operations</dfn>
that you are likely to use often while working on a session.
Depending on your work habits (and experience of other
<abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr>s) you will find
some of these operations critical while others are used only rarely.
</p>
<p>
You can carry out all of these operations from the keyboard (see
<a href="/default-keyboard-bindings/">Default Keyboard Shortcuts</a>
for a list). Equivalent operations can be performed with the mouse
in most cases.
</p>
<p>
You may want to review your understanding of
<a href="/ardours-interface/the-edit-point-control/">the edit point/range</a> and
<a href="/editing-and-arranging/which-regions-are-affected/">which regions will be affected by region operations</a>.
