Only the part of the region inside the marquee is selected, letting you select inside, or across
portions of, regions. You can perform most edits, such as moving, cutting, copying, and deleting,
in the selected area. After editing, the selected area becomes a new, separate region. The
marquee selection uses the current Tracks area Snap value.
If you play a project after making a marquee selection, playback starts at the left edge of the
selection, and ends at the right edge. If you create a marquee selection while the project is
playing, playback continues past the end of the selection.
If you start recording after making a marquee selection, Autopunch mode is activated, and the
marquee selection is replaced by the punch locators. All tracks within the marquee selection are
record-enabled, and all other tracks are record-disabled.
