Tutorial 6: Arranging and
Editing Your Music
You build your projects by arranging regions in the
timeline and editing them in the editor.
After you’ve added some loops and recordings to your project, you can move, copy,
and make other changes to the regions in the timeline to build an arrangement of the
project. You can arrange regions in the timeline by cutting, copying, and pasting them;
by moving, resizing, and looping them; and by splitting and joining them. You can
define sections of a project using arrange regions, then use them to quickly rearrange
the project. You can also edit regions in the editor in a variety of ways.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
 Select a single region or multiple regions
 Copy and paste regions
 Loop, resize, and move regions
 Split and join regions

 Rename regions

 Enhance the timing of regions
 Play regions in the editor
 Speed regions up or slow them down
