Shuffling Multiple Tracks and 
Multichannel Regions
Selections across multiple tracks or on multi-
channel tracks can be shuffled. Unlike shuffling 
regions on a single track, any partially selected 
regions are cut and moved along with the 
dragged region. This lets you retain only the ma-
terial that corresponds to the dragged region.
Moving Regions with the Grabber 
Tools
Use the Grabber tools to move one or more re-
gions, or the Edit selection, to another location. 
The Grabber tools cut the selection and paste it 
to the new location. 
To move one or more regions, or the Edit selection, 
with one of the Grabber tools:
1
Make a selection.
2
With one of the Grabber tools (Time, Separa-
tion, or Object), drag the selection to the new lo-
cation.
Time Grabber and Object Grabber
If you are moving audio data, the Time Grabber 
and Object Grabber tools overlay only the audio 
data on the destination track.
Shuffling multichannel regions
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) 
when clicking and dragging the selection 
with a Grabber tool to copy the selection 
rather than cut it.
