<p>
|
|
Many editing operations in Ardour require you to first <dfn>select one or more
|
|
regions</dfn> that you want to change in some way. You can select a single region,
|
|
or multiple regions, including regions in different tracks. When you select
|
|
a region, it will appear in a darker color than unselected regions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that if a track is a member of a group that is active and has the
|
|
<kbd class="option">Select</kbd> property enabled, then Ardour will attempt to
|
|
match whatever selections you make in one track across every other track of the
|
|
group. See
|
|
<a href="/working-with-regions/corresponding-regions-selection/">Corresponding
|
|
Regions Selection</a> for more information on precisely how selections will be
|
|
propagated to other tracks.
|
|
</p>

|
<h2>Region Selection and Track Selection</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please read
|
|
<a href="/working-with-tracks/selecting-tracks/region-and-track-selection">Region & Track Selection</a>
|
|
for more information on how selecting regions and selecting tracks interact.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Select a Region</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Confirm that you are using the
|
|
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/the-editing-toolbar/#object">Object tool</a>,
|
|
then click on a region to select it. If
|
|
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/the-editing-toolbar/#smartmode">smart mode</a>
|
|
is enabled, click in the lower half of the region.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Deselect a Region</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Confirm you are using the
|
|
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/the-editing-toolbar/#object">Object tool</a>,
|
|
then <kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-click the region. If
|
|
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/the-editing-toolbar/#smartmode">smart mode</a>
|
|
is enabled, click in the lower half of the region.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that a <kbd class="mouse mod1">left</kbd> click simply toggles the
|
|
selected status of an object, so it can be used to select unselected regions
|
|
too.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Select Multiple Regions in a Track</h2>
|
|
<p>Do one of the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-click each region, or</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
drag a rubberband box from an empty point in a track before the first
|
|
region you wish to select to a point within or after the last region
|
|
you wish to select (you can <kbd class="mouse mod1">left</kbd>-drag to do this
|
|
multiple times), or,
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
if the regions are all adjacent to one another, click the first region
|
|
you wish to select, then <kbd class="mouse mod3">Left</kbd>-click the last
|
|
region you wish to select.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Select All Regions in a Track</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Context-click the track, and in the context menu, navigate to
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Select > Select All In Track</menu>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the <a href="/working-with-tracks/the-track-context-menu">Track Context Menu</a>
|
|
for more information on other per-track selection operations that are available.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Select Multiple Regions Across Different Tracks</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-click or <kbd class="mouse
|
|
mod3">Left</kbd>-click the regions you wish to select.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Select a Region From the Region List</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click the name of the region in the
|
|
<a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/editor-lists/region-list/">Region List</a>.
|
|
Note that this will do nothing for whole-file regions, since they do not exist
|
|
anywhere in a playlist or track.
