Selecting Specific Regions and Events
You can use the following commands to select regions or events that match a specific
condition, or have a particular characteristic.
 Edit > Select Empty Regions (default key command: Shift-U): Use to select all empty
regions.
 Edit > Select Overlapped Regions/Events: Use to select all overlapping regions or
events.
 Edit > Select Muted Regions/Events (default key command: Shift-M): Use to select all
muted regions or events.
 Edit > Select Equal Colored Regions/Events (default key command: Shift-C): If you have
selected a region or event of a certain color, you can use this command to select all
regions or events of the same color. This is a useful option when replacing song
sections and other group editing tasks.
 Deselect All Regions Except on Selected Track key command: Deselects any regions not
on the currently selected track. This command is especially handy when used after
other special selection commands—limiting the effects of ensuing commands to the
recording track.
Selecting Similar or Identical Objects, Regions, or Events
If you have selected a region, event, or Environment object, you can use the Edit >
Select Similar Objects/Regions/Events function to select all similar regions, events, or
objects (default key command: Shift-S).
The Select Equal Regions/Events/Object function selects all identical objects, regions, or
events (default key command: Shift-E).
The table outlines the differences between similar and identical (equal) objects.
