HDR 24/96
Menu Item What It Does
Split
( [C TRL +y] )
Splits the currently selected region at the Current Time Bar position,
creating two regions. If the I-Beam Tool is used to select a portion
of the region prior to performing a Split operation, the region is split
at both ends of the selection, creating three regions. This selection
is grayed-out if nothing has been selected to split.
Crop
([C TRL +t])
When a portion of a region is selected using the I-Beam tool, the
Crop operation deletes all but the selected portion of the region.
This selection is grayed-out if there is nothing selected for cropping.
Select All
([C
TRL +a])
Selects all regions on all tracks in the current project.
Region Edit
([C TRL +e])
Opens the Region Editor dialog box. See the Regions section of
this manual for Region Editor operations.
Selection to
Tempo
This command is an automatic tempo calculator. Select an area
spanning a known number of beats, then click on Selection to
Tempo to open a dialog box. Enter the number of beats the
selection contains and a tempo calculated from the length of the
selection and the number of beats will be entered as the Default
Tempo of the Setup | MIDI dialog box. If you have a recorded
click track, you can use this to quickly adjust the tempo grid marks
to fit the recording.
Render Tracks
This operation creates a new audio file from an edited track, which
may be comprised of many regions. The new file will be
contiguous, including all blank spaces and audio from all the
selected regions. Typically this function is used to prepare an
edited track for export (to an external workstation), or to make an
edited section "whole" so that it may be manipulated as a single
region.
Rendering works on multiple tracks as well, allowing a multitrack
project to be exported to an external workstation with the starting
point of all the tracks aligned in time.
Selecting Render Tracks brings up a dialog box, which allows you to
choose between All and Selected (highlighted track number) tracks,
and the format (WAV or AIFF) for the rendered file. The dialog box
lists the track’s starting and ending time as default values, but these
can be edited by clicking on the time field if rendering a shorter
portion of the track is desired.
The rendered track is placed on the project’s Region List with the
default name of the track and the rendering number. Renaming the
rendered track name in the Region List allows you to tag it with
something possibly more meaningful (like “Comp Vocal”).
The Rendered file is also placed in the Project's Rendered folder,
from where it can be imported into another Project or transferred to
another computer via an Ethernet connection.
