180 Chapter 4 Audio in the Arrange Window
Moving Audio Regions
You can grab Audio Regions in the Arrange window with the mouse, and move them
around, just like MIDI Regions. Dragging will snap to increments defined by the Snap
menu setting (see “Snap and Drag Menus” section on page 130).
If you hold down Control while moving Regions, you can move them in steps of one
division (in sixteenths, for example).
If you hold down Control and Shift while moving Regions, you can move them by
single ticks (maximum resolution).
You can also use the Delay parameter in the Region Parameter box to shift the
playback position of Regions.
In practice, a resolution of one tick will usually be fine enough.
To move a Region by a finer resolution than ticks (such as a resolution of one sample
word), please use the Anchor point in the Audio window or Sample Editor.
Note: All cloned Regions in the Arrange window are affected as well.
You can also move Regions by adjusting their positions in the Event List:
1 Select the Region that you wish to edit.
2 Choose Windows > Event List.
3 Click on the button (featuring the square graphic) in the Event List’s top left corner to
move up one level in the hierarchy.
4 Move Regions as desired, by changing the value in the Position column.
To SMPTE Positions
The position of Regions can also be displayed in the Event List as SMPTE values, by
selecting View > Position & Length in SMPTE Units from the Event List menu.
If you’re synchronizing music to picture, you can type in the required SMPTE positions
for particular events. A simpler and more convenient method is the Pickup Clock key
command in the Event List. This automatically places the Anchor of the selected Region
at the current song position (the point in the film you’re currently locked to, when in
Sync mode).
You can also display the endpoint of a Region as a SMPTE time. To do this, select View >
Length as Absolute Position in the Event List.
Moving Regions Back to Record Position
You can move any selected Region in the Arrange window back to it’s original recorded
position by selecting Audio > Move Region to Original Record Position.
This function only works if the corresponding audio file was recorded in the current
song. Audio files imported via Add Audio File have no original record position.
