title: Controlling Track Ordering
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in either the editor or mixer windows. The default arrangement is as follows:</p>
|
|
<h2>Editor default arrangement</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Master bus on top</li>
|
|
<li>Tracks in the order they are added below, including busses</li>
|
|
<li>Even if you use a Monitor section, it is never visible in the editor window.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2>Mixer default arrangement</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Tracks in the order they are added, from left to right
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Master bus on the right, in its own pane so that it is always visible no matter how other mixer strips are scrolled.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>If a Monitor section is used, that is at the right edge of the mixer window (it can be torn off, too)
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2>Synchronizing Editor and Mixer Window Ordering</h2>
|
|
<p><em>By default</em> the ordering within the editor and mixer windows is synchronized: if you reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will change. You can disable this via <code>Edit > Preferences > Editor > Synchronize Editor and Mixer Track Order</code>. When disabled, the ordering both both windows is totally indepedent of the other.</p>
|
|
<h2>Reordering Specific Tracks... </h2>
|
|
<h3>... in the Editor Window, via the Keyboard</h3>
|
|
<p>Select the tracks you want to move. Then use <code>Track > Move Selected Tracks Up</code> (<kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd>) or <code>Track > Move Selected Tracks Down</code> (<kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd>) to move the selected track(s) up or down in the editor window.</p>
|
|
<h3>... in the Editor Window, via Drag-n-Drop</h3>
|
|
<p>Make the Editor Lists visible. Select the <code>Tracks & Busses</code> tab. In the browser there, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer.</p>
|
|
<h3>... in the Editor Window, via Drag-n-Drop</h3>
|
|
<p>Within the "Strips" browser in the upper left area of the Mixer window, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer.</p>
|
|
<h2>"Collecting" Group Members together</h2>
|
|
<p>Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows. Context-click on the group tab and choose "Collect". </p>
