Working in the Editor

The editor, located below the timeline, is where you edit
Real and Software Instrument regions. You can edit each
type of region in a variety of ways.

In the editor, Real Instrument regions appear as audio waveforms. Software Instrument
regions appear as either a graphic note display, or as music notation, depending which
view you select. For both Real and Software Instrument regions, the editor features a
beat ruler to help you make precise edits, and a playhead which you can lock to the
timeline playhead, or unlock to see a different part of the song in the editor.

Selecting Regions

regions in between.
