Selecting Tracks and Regions
Track or region selection is essential for all recording, editing, and arranging tasks. You
can’t move a region unless you’ve selected it. Similarly, you can’t adjust track channel
strip functions (such as volume or pan changes) unless the track name is selected in
the track list.
Selecting Tracks
You’ve probably noticed that one of the track names is always highlighted in the track
list. This indicates that it is the selected track. As you’ve discovered, you can freely drag
regions onto tracks, regardless of whether or not they are selected. You can not,
however, record to a track unless it is first selected, and armed for recording. More on
this shortly.
To select tracks for editing:
1 Click the Inst 1 track (the fifth track in the list, which will now have a different name),
and see how the Arrange channel strip updates, to reflect the current track selection.
Note: The region on the track is also highlighted, indicating that it is selected. By
default, when you select a track, all regions aligned on the track lane are automatically
selected.
2 Click the Piano Roll button at the bottom of the Arrange area to view, and edit, the
contents of the selected region.
