Range Editing

Click above for video instructions.

Range editing allows you to select and delete contiguous selections of times, on multiple tracks, without worrying about the individual regions in the track. Once a range is selected, the most common operations are:

• Delete everything inside the Range by clicking Delete or Backspace
• Cut or Copy the Range to the paste buffer
• Use the Edit menu to operate on the range
• Right-click on the Range to perform one of many tasks

*The fastest way to learn about Ranges is to create a range on the timeline, and then right-click on it. This will provide a list of features that you can accomplish with the selected range. Most of the items in the “Edit” menu are also applicable to the selected range.

• Play Range : Locates the transport to the start of the range, plays through it, and stops at the end.

• Loop Range: Sets loop makers in the ruler bar and loops the range.

• Zoom to Range: Re-sizes the canvas to accommodate the range.

• Spectral Analysis: Performs spectral analysis on the regions within the range.

• Optimize Polarity click here for more

• Move Range Start to Previous Region Boundary, etc: these functions help to fit the range to the boundaries of nearby regions ( you can also use the Grid for this task )

• Separate : Splits the Region(s) inside the range, on each of the start/end boundaries of the Range.

• Select All in Range : Selects all the regions that are touched by the Range selection. ( Note: there’s also “Edit->Select->Select all within Edit Range” which only selects the regions completely inside the range)

• Set Loop from Selection : Sets the Loop Start/End markers to match the Range selection

• Set Punch From Selection : Sets the Punch In/Out markers to match the Range selection

• Set Session Start/End from Selection : Sets the Session Start/End markers to match the Range selection

• Add Range Markers : Creates a new “Range Marker”, which is a persistent pair of start/end markers that can be used to re-select later, name CD track indexes, or stored as an export range (for example, a song in a multi-song project, or an excerpt of a song).

• Crop Region to Range : Trims the region start and end points to fit within the Range

• Fill Range with Region : Using the selected Region in the Region list, this fills the range with enough copies of that region to fill the range.

• Consolidate Range : Removes all the region data in the Range, and renders all the regions into a single region (and audio file). This file incorporates all region gain setting, region gain automation, and fade in/out settings for the included regions.

• Bounce Range to Region List : Combines all the selected regions in the range, and creates a single audio file that will appear in the Region List of the edit window.

• Export Range… : Launches the Export Dialog with the selected range defined as the export time
