<h2>Mouse Modes</h2>
|
|
<dl class="wide-table">
|
|
<dt id="object">Object Mode</dt>
|
|
<dd>The <dfn>object mode</dfn> is used for selecting, moving, deleting and
|
|
copying objects. When in object mode, the mouse pointer appears as a hand
|
|
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. The mouse can now be
|
|
used to select and perform operations on objects such as regions, markers etc.
|
|
This is the most common mode to work in, as it allows you to select and move regions,
|
|
as well as modify automation points on the automation tracks.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Range Mode</dt>
|
|
<dd>When in <dfn>range mode</dfn>, the mouse pointer appears as a vertical line
|
|
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. The mouse will now be
|
|
able to select a point or range of time. Time ranges can be selected over
|
|
one or several tracks, depending on the selection of your tracks.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If none of your tracks are selected, the Range Tool will operate on all the
|
|
session track visualized in the Editor.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to edit only particular tracks, select them before you apply
|
|
the range tool.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Zoom Tool</dt>
|
|
<dd>When in <dfn>zoom mode</dfn>, the mouse pointer appears as a magnifying glass
|
|
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. Select the area to
|
|
zoom to with a <kbd class="mouse">Left drag</kbd>. A single <kbd
|
|
class="mouse">Left</kbd> click zooms in by one level around the mouse cursor,
|
|
likewise a single <kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> click will zoom out by one
|
|
level.</dd>
|
|
<dt>Region Gain Tool</dt>
|
|
<dd>When in <dfn>gain edit</dfn> mode, the mouse pointer will change to
|
|
cross-hairs. You can then click within a region to change the <dfn>gain
|
|
envelope</dfn> for that region. This curve is separate from fader automation
|
|
for individual tracks. It will remain locked to the region's time, so if the
|
|
region is moved, the region gain envelope is moved along with it.</dd>
|
|
<dt>Time Effects Tool</dt>
|
|
<dd>When in <dfn>time fx</dfn> mode, the mouse pointer appears as a
|
|
distinctive expanding square symbol whenever it is over the track canvas or
|
|
the rulers. This mode is used to resize regions using a timestretch
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
Click on an edge of a region of audio and drag it one way or the other to
|
|
stretch or shrink the region.</dd>
|
|
<dt>Audition Tool</dt>
|
|
<dd>Clicking a region using the <dfn>audition tool</dfn> will play this
|
|
region to the control room outputs.
|
|
<p>You can also <dfn>scrub</dfn> with this tool by clicking and dragging in
|
|
the direction you wish to listen. The amount you drag in one direction or
|
|
the other will determine the playback speed.</p>

The <dfn>Smart Mode</dfn> button to the left of the mouse mode buttons
|
|
modifies <dfn>Object mode</dfn>. When enabled, the mouse behaves as if it
|
|
is in "Range Tool" mode in the upper half of a region, and in "Object Tool"
|
|
mode in the lower half.
