Marquee Tool
In the Arrange window, you can use the Marquee tool (looks like a crosshair, or plus
sign) to select a portion of an individual Region, or a horizontal selection of multiple
Regions. To use the Marquee tool, select it from the Toolbox and drag from left to right
across the desired Regions. As you do so, you will see a Marquee box (shaded area)
appear onscreen, indicating the range of the Marquee selection. All data that falls
within the Marquee area will be affected by parameter changes or functions.
Note: Obviously, some parameters are only relevant to either Audio Regions or MIDI
Regions. If such parameter changes are applied when both Audio Regions and MIDI
Regions are selected, there will be no change with one type of data, while the desired
change is made to the selection. As an example, if a portion of an Audio Region and
MIDI Region are selected, and the Transpose parameter is used, only the MIDI Region
will be affected.
The Track/Instrument Parameters
The parameters in this area are linked to the Track List. They vary in accordance with
the type of track selected (audio, Audio Instrument, MIDI, and so on) and affect all
Regions on this track.
Note: Track type is determined by the Audio Object it is assigned to. The parameters of
a track or instrument simply mirror the parameters of the corresponding Audio Object.
Given this relationship, the Parameter box below the Toolbox to the left of the Arrange
window, is known as the Object Parameter box.
The Object Parameter box (Instrument Parameter box) will update each time a new
track is selected in the Track List. Please select a few tracks in the Track List with the
mouse, or by using the up/down arrow keys on your computer keyboard. While doing
so, watch the changes in the Object Parameter box.
